I took a chance on a $19.00 a quart product in the hope that it would offer a hard rustproof surface that binds to rust. I have never used POR-13, but i thought that this stuff might be similar.http://www.agriguardcoatings.com/home.html Remember that I do not really know that much about the POR-13, but I can give my impressions of the Agri-Guard product. The application i used it on were two very rusty pulleys that lived under the battery on a MTD product. MTD uses thin cheap steel on their stuff, and I am afraid that unless these pulleys are protected, they could rust through and fail. I must say that after coating it with the Agri-guard that I am impressed. The color hide, penetration, and dry time to recoat of one hour makes it a winner of a product. The company advised that the product is good for salty or corrosive environments and to that I say that the way it seems to penetrate into pitted rust and leave a hard film seems to support their claims. There has to be some pretty good stuff in the can to get people to pay $19.00 a Quart for it.[black in color]. The aluminum/silver color costs $29.00 a quart. The black is not rated for full sunlight, so possibly the aluminum color is?? Anyway, after using the stuff on the pulley, i am certain that it is worth a try on the deck bottom. MTD decks are not made from quality cold roll steel like our Wheel Horse decks, so if you have a pitted modern MTD deck or a good vintage Wheel Horse deck that you want to save, it is probably worth the money to coat it. It seems that this coating is tough enough that a once a year coating before winter would benefit the decks lasting longer. I am also gonna try the stuff on the rust that lives on the top of my 42" SD and then see if red paint will stick to it. One other thing is that you need to be careful not to get the product in the sealing groove of the can as it pretty much can weld the lid tight. i used a light grease coat on the lid to prevent problems. I also save extra quart can lids and cut out the center for a free paint can shield and that keeps the original lid and can free of paint in the sealing rim.
