What do you think without giving anything away. Got to keep 'em guessing.
Ignore the crap welding. I was trying a gasless mig welder for the first time.
Got a surprise this morning. Five days ago I asked Titch for some graphics for the trailer. This morning they arrived. I wasn't expecting them till sometime next week.
Very pleased with them and pleased with the excellent service. Top marks Titch.
Decks over there seem to fare well compared to over here. Maybe the conditions they are used in are better. Over here and where I live in particular, the grass tends not to really dry out, so sticks to the underneath. People not cleaning them after use doesn't help.
Again I'm not a lover of underseal. Especially the type that puts a skin on. If it gets damage, water can get behind and start corrosion. My local garden machinery man, now sold up and retired unfortunately, advised spraying/painting old oil under decks. Helps prevent grass etc sticking. I personally remove and clean mine after each use.
My personal view of sealed for life bearings is not the best. When I rebuilt my rear discharge deck, I removed one seal and fitted the bearings seal side out. I like to use a grease gun now and then.
As to paint for underneath, a good agricultural enamel.
