squonk 41,040 #1 Posted November 12, 2022 It's been a great leaf mulching season in Upstate NY. But the weather is changing and time to take the deck off and install the blower. When the deck comes off it's time for some preventive maintenance. This is what the deck looks like right off the tractor. Did not scrape anything. Leaves do a good job of blasting. Powder trapped under the wing thingys Removing the insert reveals powder trapped. This all just brushed out and the remains blew out with leaf blower. I haven't had to touch the inside of the deck since I've had it I wire wheeled the inside of the insert. Both the deck and insert will get touched up with Rust Reformer and then coated with Rust-Oleum Spray on Bedliner. The wing thingys will get the same treatment. 6 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here... Bill My working girls only have one outfit, that's a pair of shorts and a T- shirt, maybe a long sleeve T-shirt if it gets chilly.

rjg854 11,354 #7 Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) I pulled my deck this morning and started cleaning it up. But had to watch the Buffalo game before I go any further. Changed the oil and greased all moving parts and pieces. So the C160 is ready for the plow blade and for what's coming next.
