[AT] Mower deck treatment

[Al Jones]

Sounds like you have the same sort of conditions we do in s.e. NC.  I can 
honestly say I have never worried about this issue, not even once.  If I am 
doing any work to the deck (changing blades, etc.) I just scrape whatever is 
in my way off with a screwdriver.
