[AT] Slip Plate, Teflon and Bacon Grease

[DDSS]

That's exactly what the manual for the JD x304 said.  It's probably the 
mixture of sand and moisture from the fresh cut grass that makes our's so 
tough to keep off the bottom of the deck.

The instructions on mine indicate that the user should start the mower
and run the blades up to grass cutting speed for a bit. Supposedly, the
high lift blades will slam the water against the bottom of the deck
pretty hard and flush it out. I haven't tried it but the directions make
sense.
