Rustproofing a mower

[razz1969]

I know this is an old thread, but here is a suggestion. Spray on bed liner on the deck, both top and bottom. I did this 8 years ago on my craftsman and it's still going strong.

Hello all , I am a new visitor to this site and if I may I would like to offer my experience with our JD L110. It is now six years old and twice a season ( Dec-Apr) I will remove the deck and clean it then prior to the winter storeage it again comes off and gets cleaned then brushed down with the oil from the seasonal oil change. The innards under the floor pan get the same treatment and so far no repairs or rust yet. I do cold gal any dings as I come across them. Regards

I read what I thought was a good suggestion. Change the engine oil, save the old oil, take putty knife, scrape the loose clippings, wire brush the fine stuck clipping, take an old paint brush, using the old oil coat the inside of the deck. :thumbsup: Sharpen the blades in this process.

WELCOME to LMF...

I have done that in the past, when storing out of season...
Since I have switched to oil changes in the Spring, I have not done that... It's one of those things that we use to do long ago... I couldn't tell you for sure that it makes a big difference... but I know I thought it did at the time... :smile:KennyV
