[AT] coating for lawnmower deck

[John Hall]

A slick coating may help with leaving clumps behind if you mow wet grass!!!

Seriously though, if you are the type of guy to keep a mower for 15-40 years 
it's a good idea---assuming you can still buy one that lasts that long. We 
have 3 over 35 yrs old that are used regularly---2 of them have patchwork on 
the decks.
