IIRC a cub front wheel will fit in a round 5 gallon bucket.
That and leaving it submersed overnight (or longer if needed) in some white cleaning vinegar is what you need , then take your wire brush to it.
You will be amazed as the vinegar turns the rust to mush and is easily removed w/your brush.
Be sure and knock of all the large scaly stuff before hand is all so the solution can soak into the rusty metal.
It's either that or the sandblaster at my shop unless I have only one wheel or only a few small parts to de-rust
If I have other parts to blast, then I usually gather up all I can find that need it and take with to make the trip worth while.
