oh and mulching dry leaves will clean up the underside of a deck like sandblasting it. BTDT:beerchug:

We’ll see how long it lasts. If it needs, I can put another coat of paint on at the end of the season.

I’m not going to sandblast it, just wire brush the heavy rust off.

After a rust converter and two coats of Rustoleum, it looks much better now. We’ll see how long it holds up.

Looks good:ThumbsUp:

Is this mower deck on leaf duty in fall?

Looks like a really rough underside surface.
I would not expect that to shed grass clippings that are damp very well.
Good luck!

Thanks. They only have 1 tree, so there won’t be a lot of leaves.

It can’t be any worse than before.

I tested it out today. The grass didn’t seem to stick too bad. We’ll see how it holds up over time.
