Monitor Humidity in Gearboxes
 
Humidity indicator cards that change colors at different relative humidity levels can be used inside large spare gearboxes and similar stored machines. Inspect the cards periodically for excessive moisture. Bags of desiccant can be placed in the gearboxes to adsorb moisture that has ingressed. The gearboxes should be marked as "not ready for use."

From "Machinery Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting":

Many process units remain viable producers for more than 25 years. However, they usually have undergone a variety of changes over the years and also may simply be suffering from the ravages of time. For these general reasons, corrosion-related problems often begin to show up at these later stages of life. Can these be prevented? In most cases, yes, although sometimes it’s too late when the failure occurs.
