Stopping corrosion (Was Re: (ET) best tires for hilly grass)

["Bob & Lorrie Dewar" <dewar techheadnet com>]

Another idea that personally tickles my fancy would be to sand, prime, and
paint the compartment with a high quality paint product such as Rustoleum.
After letting it completely cure, apply some of the "brush-on bed liner"
material that is formulated for the bed of pickup trucks. This type of
product is available at most any auto parts or farm supply store. These
products are basically impervious (hopefully, per advertising claims) to 
all
sorts of corrosive products and just might work the best for long term
control.

Good luck and happy tractoring :-)
