Recycler deck maintenance

Recommended Posts

squonk

For  all those who have recycler decks. Take the insert off a couple of times a year and clean out the chaff. Tha amount of work my deck saves me raking,sweeping and bagging clipping is well worth the couple of hours a year to tear it down and clean it. 

 

grass gets behind the insert

Remove the wings. Powder gets in there as well. I replaced all the wing bolts with SS

wire brushed the insert and a coating of extend. I spray bedliner coating on after.

good going on that squonk, just the fact that you ,open it up and clean out the grunge is the deck saver. I do mine with chain lubricant to feed the metal ,and dry it out ,angled to the sun for a hot drying soak on the oil. while I don't have a recycler deck,I regularly drop and service mine. my decks are upside down now , cleaned, and soaking in the chain and cable spray, over winter. they retain the dark oil stain look , that helps fend off the acidic grass grunge. you are keeping your stuff alive, keep it going , Pete

Mike:   Is that the deck I picked up for you from Indiana two years ago?   You must use that a lot!

Yup. And with the rain we got this year I was mowing twice a week until August!
