Default rider deck question


wrote in message
ups.com...
I have a troy bilt pony rider, 2 years old. It did not come with deck
wheels. Would I be well advised to get a set? Are there benefits to
the wheels? It is also equiped with a port for a deck wash system.
For hooking up hose and running blades and water to clean underside of
deck. Would it be a good idea to get this adaptor? Would the excess
water cause rusting? I do use a blower to remove grass and debris
from the mower when I am finished though, u cant really do thew under
side of the deck with that method!!!


I have deck wheels on all my mowers and I've never tried to mow without
them - but I have some rough spots and regularly mow over junk and brush
hog. I don't hose but it sounds to me like you are doing great with your
blower. The hose won't be "perfect" either.
