Got all the repairs done to the "new" mower deck , all I need to do now is bolt stuff back on it - after a sandblast and some paint . To my critics - I think you might have been confused , the deck with the serious cancer is going to be scrapped . The best parts of both will be kept . -- Snag |

I've used just about every coating on a deck. Most don't hold up to the constant abuse under the deck. The only two that have lasted longest were the factory powder coat and good enamel with a topcoat of the non rubberized bed liner. Both lasted longer with a good coat of slip plate paint (graphite paint). If the price was lower I would ceramic coat the underside. That would take a beating but it isn't in the budget $$$$$. -- Steve W. |

There might be brackets or spindles that you can weld on to the newer
one to fix it from the old junker. I have a disabled mower - have better ones now - but it needed a bracket that the factory stopped making and I had to get one made.

The blades should be a little bit lower in front, maybe a 1/4 inch or so as compared to the rear. They cut better that way. And of course they should be the same side to side. It can take an hour or two of fuddling around to get a deck leveled nice. Something that rarely gets done if you buy a new one nowadays... -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |

As you say , for what I'm doing it's not critical , but still I think it wise to do it right .

The mower I just used is a deck from a 22" unit that junior dragged home afterit suffered a bent crank due to eithe a large rock or concrete step plus a serious infection by the "eye-dee-ten- tea"mechanic virus and the motor from a dumpster dive by second son that developed independent suspension. No, Clare, I still haven't motorized the stainless deck you provided; I'm still looking for a bag unit to fit the self propelled power unit destined for it, I may end up going bagless. --- Gerry :-)} London,Canada Good to see you still have plans for it Gerry. Did I have the blue Bolton engine on my hi-wheeler when you were up or did I still have the little old Briggs on it??? I'll be rebuilding a little Deere rider this summer - Kawasaki engine that the crankcase bolts backed out of, causing the base gasket to allow oil to escape all over the place. IIRC it was the B&S --- Gerry :-)} London,Canada |
Almost done !

The best parts of both will be kept . -- Snag I would have used POR-15 on this deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuDcvwEIkPI I haven't decided what to coat it with , there's a chance I can get it done with Rhino Liner . A good friend runs a car resto business and he's a dealer . He's also the one who has the sandblaster I'll be using to clean it up . I'd like to have it powder coated , but the budget won't go there . Probably end up using an industrial enamel paint . Rhino Liner or a clone gets my vote for this, Seriously good for this sort of application!!! Does that stuff shed sticky grass well? The coarse texture I've felt when looking at spray-on bedliners didn't seem the type which would work well for easy cleaning. I've always _much_ preferred the slide-in bedliners. Oh hell yes. Slides off like runny snot from your nose. And when you are done..simply stick the hose in the output port and spray the dust out of it. Bed liner..some of the best stuff ever made for that sort of app. Good idea. I've a Toro which is suffering serious mower deck rot. Along with a few other problems. Heck, I';ve got almost $30 in it, not sure if I want to keep up the effort. (it was a found mower given me by a friend. He now wishes he had kept it.) -- pyotr filipivich "With Age comes Wisdom.

Bagless is much better for the lawn. And letting the grass get longer is better, too. It uses less water. Mulch the cut stuff and it disappears into the long grass instantly, so the wifey is OK with it. -- When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary. -- Thomas Paine (comparing Paine to the current CONgress deep sigh) |
