Bit rusty....

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..."

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.
