oh and mulching dry leaves will clean up the underside of a deck like sandblasting it. BTDT

We’ll see how long it lasts. If it needs, I can put another coat of paint on at the end of the season.

I’m not going to sandblast it, just wire brush the heavy rust off.

After a rust converter and two coats of Rustoleum, it looks much better now. We’ll see how long it holds up.

Looks good

Is this mower deck on leaf duty in fall?

Looks like a really rough underside surface.
I would not expect that to shed grass clippings that are damp very well.
Good luck!

Thanks. They only have 1 tree, so there won’t be a lot of leaves.

It can’t be any worse than before.

I tested it out today. The grass didn’t seem to stick too bad. We’ll see how it holds up over time.

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.
