Under Deck Cleaning

[CalG]

I liked the guy's description of just parking the mower over the wood chip pile and let the chips fall where they may!

At least as good as walnut hulls. ;-)

Wood chips sure do a good job cleaning up my chipper shredder.!

Gentlemen,

Had the deck off my Z Force Zero Turn today to sharpen the blades and clean the deck underneath.

The BEST tool for scraping the grass buildup, but more importantly, the caked on mud that's just like concrete ... is a vibrating tool with the scraper blade attachment. I couldn't believe how quickly that vibrating action of the blade cut the hard packed mud from the steel. Using a putty knife used to take an hour, and the vibrating blade took 15 minutes. Try it, you'll love it!

I have a Craftsman vibrating tool my SIL gave me 5 years ago, hardly ever used it, but I tried it on my z force and your right, much easier than a putty knife, thanks for sharing!

I sure hope your spindle bearings are well sealed or you are just inviting rust in the bearings.

I never spray the spindles directly. The WD gets the water out.
