Mower Deck Paint/Finish

[ConstitutionCowboy]

Anyone know of a special paint or finish that can be applied to the underside of a mower deck to keep the grass clippings and dust/mud from sticking and building up like adobe? Most of the original finish(paint?) on the underside of my mower is gone/worn away and I need to sand blast it and refinish it. It's a real pain in the arse chiseling out the stuff after every other mowing - and I do mean chiseling.

It's gonna sound stupid, but spray it with WD40 before each mow and wash it after. Only way to keep it clean

Also, if your deck doesn't have a garden hose attachment, these work really well...

Doesn't take long to clean if you do it before you let the crud dry.

I fight this problem every spring when the henbit and clovers are growing well. It all comes down to moisture content of your yard. Majority of those early season yard villains are mostly water. That crap does set up hard after it dries. I resorted to spraying my yard for anything other than Bermuda or fescue and it helped some but not completely. Once it gets hot and dry I normally don’t have a problem with it.

The aerosol stuff they sell to keep snow from sticking to snowblades works dayum good

Amsoil Metal Protector HD. It dries hard and makes a bulletproof undercoating. Used as undercoating on cars/truck it lasts for several years.

Second question, how about some slickum stuff to keep string from welding to itself and keep it coming out of the trimmer heads?

After cleaning, coat with vegetable oil or spray.
