CRF857 585 #1 Posted 5 hours ago I have a gallon of Lubriplate FMO 500. Am wondering if it would be good to use on the underside of the mowing deck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 10,018 #2 Posted 4 hours ago @CRF857 been doing hot sun / lubrication for years , number one thing is totally cleaning out any debris , trapped , grass , personally use a 2 stage soak in , like a chain and cable spray , macs , napa, totally soak down and heat bake , for hours , set up mine for best all day , sun angle , move as needed , then over spray , with the heavier open gear oil , you can easily experiment , I also winter store my decks like this , so that lubrication , becomes imbedded into the metal , was just checking the specs on your lube , possible , but its the lighter initial hot soak in , that sets the foundation , of rust free, pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 12,367 #4 Posted 2 hours ago This has not really answered @CRF857’s question. I’d also like to know the answer to this because I have some of that same stuff that someone gave me. I never really knew what to do with it? Maybe I’ll use it on my decks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 32,158 #5 Posted 2 hours ago Can't hurt... expired in 2017, so either use it for bicycles chain oil or put it on the deck and see what happens... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
