Or maybe you give the decks a nice hose-down and cleaning before putting them up for the winter? I lost a motor to a seized bearing after relying on the fairly useless "seals" on the original motors. During the season you cook the water out the next time you mow. Not so for winter storage. So far I'm having much better luck with sealed bearings.
Hm. That's possible, although the fat motor shows no sign of rust, just broken magnet. I'll remember not to pressure wash the deck underside in the fall, I thought I left it out in the sun long enough to dry but maybe not.
