50" Mower Deck
Howdy folks, long time no visit! Finally got time to do some preservation on this 50' deck on the 1200. Just had a question, or looking for advice, on the top plate on this deck The previous owner had what looks and feels like tar paper as a gasket in between the top plate and the deck. That, and some sort of caulking around the holes where the spindles mount. I don't see a gasket on the parts list. The PO may have thought that it was a good moisture barrier? Anyhow, I am in the process of cleaning up the deck, and it's coming along ok so far. There is a fair amount of pitting that was under the plate and in other areas. I bought a scaler, and it works pretty dang good on the pitting and rust "bubbles". Now I'm in the process of knocking of loose rust and paint with a angle grinder with a very tough wire wheel attachment.
Once I am done and ready to paint, would you put anything in between as a gasket? The rust will be treated and it will be painted, but the pits are there, and I don't want to crate air pockets under the plate. What would you suggest I do there? Here is a few pics for reference. Thanks! TB

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.
