The lawn mowers have the option to put a hose to the deck and clean underneath. Does that cause the blades to rust or dull them in any way. I am thinking if the grass is dry, I won't need to clean underneath the deck.
Maybe that will work better than my wife's method..BIGWES said:I read on another site that someone mows over a pile of leaves and said
that the leaves will take the grass off the deck. Has anyone tried this?
Ob1kubota, just curious, how often do you remove the plastic shield overOb1kubota said:Bird is right on, I blow off the tractor chassis with compressed air after every mowing and clean out the spindles on top the deck. My BX belt on a 60 inch deck caught on fire one night because the dryed grass spontaneously combusted because it was packed tight from over use without cleaning the clippings away from the heat generating components. This was a real thrill seeing my wife on a BX2230 screaming for help. Always carry an ABC type extinguisher with you on an all day mowing event.
Once. I leave them off. My Husky blew a belt at 2 hours on the brand new mower because of debris. Now it is easy to clean and I can see how much is building up on the spindles.BIGWES said:how often do you remove the plastic shield over
