Reloading Press Info Needed

I have an old Rockchucker I used for many years. It's almost 50 years old. All my reloading equipment, powders, primers, dies, everything were always kept in my reloading room. When I got the Dillion I packed the RCBS and dies in a box. When I moved 16 years back I forgot about it and left it in the garage. When finally found it a few weeks back, it doesn't look good. I have been thinking about cleaning, painting, and polishing the surface rust to see if I can get it going again.
I will bet that some WD40 and steel wool or abrasive pads will bring the ram back just fine, likewise the top of the threaded insert and the handle rod.
I bought my spare Rockchucker off of Ebay, and I had to clean it up, and it came out great.

I will try that this weekend. Hope it helps. I've always kept my shooting equipment indoors and controlled environment. It was really disappointing to find the press in that condition.
