WD-40. I hadn't thought of that. I'll give that a try on my shovels and pitchforks. Even though I clean all the stable equipment religiously, the humidity that we get in July and August, just makes all the equipment rust up so easily. So thanks MowTown for you suggestion. My mower doesn't get very rusty, at least not yet. It is fairly new, and I wipe it down every time I use it.
