Keepin' um clean

[Ric]

I make a fortune from repairing the decks of customers who pressure wash their mowers and particularly when trying to remove accumulated clippings from the deck.
So I blow with a very long handled air duster and sell these to my customers.
Even then I can oft shift lumps of paint if the deck surface has been compromised.
Every one who has recommended pressure washing is either a mechanic or professional lawn care person.

The only part I pressure wash is the engine only if it needs degreasing.

Just did both spindles on a brand new Cub ZTR because he did not run it after he washed it.
Toros with wash out decks seem to do bottom spindle bearings regularly for the same reason.

Like I said and I am one of those lawn-care guys but 95% of the time I use the BR 600 to remove clippings and debris, if I pressure wash it will be at the end of the season. Like you I don't believe in those washout ports on decks, I think the manufacturer puts those things on there decks so they can sell spindles. When I do pressure wash the engine is always running at around three quarter throttle and the blades engaged, never shut things down until the engine, fans etc are all dry.
