Mower Deck Tune-up
1) Have a 1641 w/48" deck. Underside of deck is somewhat rust-pitted and begins the clogging-build up process immediately after cleaning, to the point I'm dropping deck & cleaning every 2-3 mows, even after longer dry stretches. I've tried painting and oiling to keep grass from sticking.
Any suggestions on minimizing build-up?
2) Need to replace sleeve bushings on casters - where's a good place to look?
3) Do the blades need to be in certain positions relative to each other?
4) How often do you replace blades? Mulching Blades available? Yeah, I know that would make #1 problem even worse.
TIA
