WASH-OUT-PORTS-RIDERS ESPECIALLY

[Buckshot 1]

:thumbdown: In my estimation, putting a wash out port on a deck is the dumbest thing yet. But I guess for those to lazy to either remove the deck/ use air to clean, it is a good thing. If they follow the manufactures directions. Just my 2 cents.

I agree that using water can be hard on bearings from experience. My first mower was a older Bolens with a hose connection on the deck, there wasn't much chance of rusting that heavy deck out but it was a full time job replacing deck bearings. Long story short after I gave the water up I never changed bearings again. One thing certain it sure did clean the deck well but also made a mess where ever you washed it out.
