How many of you guys wax your machine? Today I'm doing the front. Can't play in the dirt, the ground is soaked.:eek:

Once in the Spring and again in the Fall:thumbsup:
 
   / Tractor care #3  
Every fall my tractor gets a good pressure washing (including the motor)
I go all over it. The tractor gets greased/serviced any thing broken or worn getting repaired/replaced, it gets waxed and any damaged paint repaired/touched up.
It does make a differance. My DK is 11 years old and still looks great.
I attached a picture of my 2001 DK 35 just after last falls yearly service/cleanup/waxing.

Vince, that effort has paid off. Good job! I hope mine will look as good in 9 years time.

I keep mine clean and store indoors. It was in for service last week for 150 hours, and when went to pick it up, there was a guy about to count it as inventory as he thought it was new!

Cheers,

Jon

My DK had around 1600 hours when I took that picture.
