Default battery corrosion


Hope you all had a very blessed Christmas and have a blessed New Year as well!

The battery tray on my LT 1042 has some white corrosion on it, as does the battery terminals, battery cables, and the metal battery hold down rod.

What have you all found to be the best thing to keep all these things corrosion free?

I've tried wheel bearing grease and Vaseline, which does help. Saw an episode of American Restoration and Rick said to clean everything off real good, then spray it with hair spray. Supposedly that will stop corrosion. Anybody ever tried that?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

I use that red battery terminal spray. when it set up it keep the oxygen and 02 from corroding the cables.

Id bet hair spray would come close to doing the same thing.

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.
