[AT] Mower deck treatment

[dglass]

I have always used spray on truck bed liner.  It seals the metal from 
the grass and moisture and if the wet grass does built up, it just pulls 
off in one sheet when it drys. Plus, its cheap.  I think its about $20 
for the usual size mower deck and I have never had it peal off even 
after years of use.

Out here, where the soil is very sandy, the wet grass clippings mix with loose sand and form an almost concrete-like material that builds up on the mower if you don't keep the underside 100% clean after each use.

It has a power-wash adapter on the deck but all that does is get the under-side wet and removes very little grass.  Since the deck is not heavy, I remove it from the mower after each use and power-wash it.  There's got to be a better way.
