Greetings,
Well it's not often that I'm disappointed in something about my GC1715 . . . In fact it's only happened a couple times.
But I was cleaning my mmm under-deck and discovered that the underside is just painted and not primered. This is exactly the area that deck rust or get lots of moisture.
Now I might think that possible in a big box $1500 lawn mower with a $400 lawn mower deck. But a $2400 tractor mower deck should be primered so that paint doesn't fall off the very smooth under-surface of the deck underbody. In other words the metal is not showing sandblasting or primer or electroplating . . . Just red paint. And a little rust starting already in less than 2 years of
use Not cool.
