Re: (ET) Mower Musings
Under the mower deck is a tough place. Moisture from the grass,
sandblasting by the small dirt particles, and occasional bigger
pieces... Anyone tried POR 15?
I think the best preservative might be a garage. My ET has lived in a
dry garage it's whole life. I've never done a thing to the deck. It's
still solid and original. I doubt the paint underneath is complete
though. I haven't scraped the grass off of it in so long I don't
remember if I ever did. Actually, I'd think that the layer of grass
clippings helps limit the sandblasting effects. At the rate it's going,
it will probably outlast me.
I had to replace a motor recently, because I hit a big immovable object
and bent a shaft. I decided to replace all the motor mounting hardware
with stainless socket head cap screws with the nuts on top. Much easier
and faster to deal with than the old hex head bolts.
