It seems as if more would stay within the deck if the discharge chute is blocked. Have you tried that?

I'll just pour a little Canola or Corn oil in or maybe recycle 10w 30.
Do you know what else I did do in the past? I've decided to serrate an old blade with angle grinder and worn out (half round) 1/4" grinding disk and.....there was no significant improvement in cut quality over a regular straight edge blade!

Serrated edges were invented by Native Americans for cutting buffalo meat. Don't try making a flint mower blade. It ain't gonna work. :laughing:

I usually sharpen my blades that often, and just scrape the deck clean while I'm at it.
Also, mulching dry leaves in the fall seems to do a pretty good job of cleaning off the grass build up on my deck.

Making sure the deck has a slope to the front of between 1/16" - 5/16" keeps the rear of my deck most always clean.. Just get a little in front. 3 minutes & it's clean. I use a wooden stake sharpened, I don't like using any metal scraper, that can scrape off underside paint.
