I just bought a new Scag Turf Tiger mower. One of the things that
the dealer told me was not to wash it. He said to just blow it
off with a blower or air hose. He said that water will rust the
bearings and it is best never to wash it. I have never heard of
this. I got the impression that it wasn't just for Scag but is
meant for all mowers. We live in a very dusty environment and I
have always washed the mower after mowing. Has anyone heard of
this? Comments?

Thanks,

Roger


Sure. Everybody has a compressor in the garage, right? Air hose.
Yep.

"Washing" does not necessarily mean blasting water into all the
crevices. There are ways to do it carefully. Leave the mower in
the sun for a while until it dries.
Like a previous poster suggested, use a leaf blower. They work
better anyway.
