I primed and painted mine, then used that spray on truck bed liner.
It seems to be holding up well.

I sprayed the underbody spray (rubberized coating on my 48" deck about 5 or 6 years ago and it has held up nicely, but Diz Jr.'s solution (and others) is one that I wish I had used, but I didn't consider it (not even for sure if it was on the market then ???) at the time....wish that I had!!

Do some of you guy's remember ZeiBart undercoating from the mid
70's ? It was good stuff until water got under it . Then it seemed to hide
rust until it was too late . That was my only concern with a liner type
coating ( I understand bedliner is a different product ) . I will agree
with Matt of it being one tough environment for any product used .

Diz , sounds like you're happy with it ....What brand did you use ?

I'm also into wheeling and jeeps. Spray on bedliner has many uses for off-roading and has held up nicely. Most jeepers remove their carpet to find a lot of rust. most wire brush the rust, prime and then use spray on bedliner. It hold up well to moisture.

A few have also painted the exterior of their jeeps with spray on bedliner. It takes a beating from branches, rocks, mud, ect. Holds up great.

epoxy primer ,my dad primed a gas tank with it and the the guy who he did it for it, went and had it acid dipped the primer still didn't come off. So for some reason I don't think grass going to hurt it.

He said he also used on his cub cadet 149

I would put on a good coat of primer and then spray on bedliner.

bed liner under the mower deck? that's the first I've heard of that one...What about the sticking grass issue? It seems you want a smooth surface, I've even read where guys are using marine teflon paint to try and reduce grass sticking.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
