Winter Project

Thanks guys. All I need to do now is sharpen the blades and get her greased up. I would love to base coat clear coat the entire tractor, deck, and FEL. For as much money as this thing (B7610) costs it should have come with a much better paint job.

I agree! Everything else is very well made you would think they wouldn't have scrimped on the finish.

Does the graphite paint help keep the deck clear through the cutting season? Where do you buy the paint?

I'll put it like this. Some stuff sticks, but it comes off pretty easily with the graphite. That stuff is pretty slick. Any coating to keep the wet grass from starting a rust spot whether it be regular paint or graphite. Keep in mind that if you have sandy soil, no deck paint has a chance.

I like it for lubrication of parts where I don't want a mess with dirt etc. from sticking.

It can be had at most farm stores.

Looks good. I wanted the whole underneath Teflon coated, but I knew that wasn't going to happen. Anything is better than nothing. I'd hate to know what replacement cost would be on a new deck shell.
