Default Washing Mower Deck ?

Hello
I have a Cub Cadet 1527 Mower Tractor with a 42 in. deck , have had the
usual problem with grass sticking to the underside of the deck and the
damage that goes with this problem , I had the deck sand-blasted a year
ago and painted it with a special very tough paint that I got from Summit
Racing , I ran a hose under the deck with the mower running and it really
cleaned the fresh grass off the deck , took the deck off last fall for
maint. and it looks very good , have heard all kind of ways to wash a
deck , wonder if anybody has added a fitting to the deck or buried a
right angle hose in the ground to spray up , getting down on the ground
with a water hose isn't the best .
Thanks
Phil L.

I bought a 50 inch Cub Cadet last year and it has quick disconnect fitting
on it just for that purpose. There is a fitting on the top of each side
of the deck.

So, you might check with Cub Cadet to see if you can order these parts and
install them on your mower. It might be hard to put a hole in the deck
for the fitting, but it could be done.

My Troybilt had a big brass bolt, washer, and nut in the deck where the
fitting/adapter goes.

How about a tax to support any military conflict/police action over 3 months
old?

An actual war, we can do what's been done in the past.
