I started getting ready for spring by removing the snow blower attachment and get ready to put the mower deck on the tractor but the 20-1/2 year old hunk of metal mower deck was shabby again! So I removed the cutter blades and wire wheeled the dry hunks of grass away on the bottom. Cleaned it with Acetone and sprayed it with Dry Moly to keep the new grass from sticking. Then wire wheeled the top, cleaned with Acetone and sprayed it with Satin Black high temp enamel spray paint. When the new blades come in, I will throw them on. Blades from SearsDirect only $13.64 each. Not bad?

Is your mower ready for this season?
