I'm no expert but wouldn't rust compromise the case hardening of the teeth.

A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains,..enough with the floods already..."

Re: Bit rusty....
Rust itself may not compromise the case hardining but more important by the time you strip of the rusted surface the gear teeth may never mesh properly. I would shy away it from it for that reason.
