I have Spartan 100's that are 30 years old, no rusting out issues. Only rust I deal with is from the cable at times... That is why I spray WD-40 in the drum on the cable before each job.

When the plant burned down Spartan had to get some parts made elsewhere while they rebuilt. The plant has been rebuilt and they are making parts here again and still getting some from China but the final build is here. I was told once the China stock runs out they are going to be all USA parts again.
