It looks like light surface rust. I'd use it. Of course the price would need to reflect its outward appearance (try to get a discount due to rust). Also plan to replace the pilot bearing for peace of mind. Get a new seal too.

You really can't tell from the pics alone. You need to have it specced to make sure it's not out of round, mic the lobes etc....



If you need it looked over before you install it or need one that is perfect, send me a PM. I'm in Long island.
