Not certain where the deck was kept. The guy I got the outfit from only owned it for a little while and never used it other than drove around the yard. Look at my M18 thread in the engine section and you'll see why. We aren't positive this deck was even under the mower. It just looked way too rough compared to the rest of the machine. It had to have been stored somewhere damp because even outside it would have dried off sometime, the blades are covered in nasty rust. I've seen damage from mouse pee before and this is way to widespread and uniform. Hopefully what I didn't grind away the Rust-Mort will stop.
