Grasshopper 227v

[Farmall cub 1957]

We just bought this grasshopper 227v and I can’t figure out one good easy way to clean out the mower deck. The mower deck doesn’t come off without a lot of work. What do you guys do

Jack it up. Place jack stands for safety. Get under there with a putty knife and wire brush.Scrape and brush. Wear safety glasses. A water hose with a spray nozzle is also an option. Some people like to use pressure washers.
