Get a really cheap old machine first to try your hand at the cleaning.
Can you use Evaporust on the iron treadle part? Or is that what you meant?
You have to soak the parts in the Evaporust for at least an hour for it to work. It works really well on stuff you can immerse in the solution. I've cleaned a lot of rust away since I've read about it!
