Tip for 3pt Mower Maintenance

[looch]

I just finished a tear-down / repaint of my Buhler/Farm King 3pt mower. I found quite a bit of rust beneath the wheel supports that attach to the deck - metal on metal. I took an old, small nylon chopping board from the kitchen (checked with the boss) and cut some disks using a hole-saw. I inserted them under the supports to raise them slightly off the deck. No vibration and no water gets trapped.

I wonder if you coated that area with some of that truck bed lining stuff would help protect it some more or just hold in moisture and cause more rust?
