I'd second Muddymike's point about keeping it clean. After you've used
it, clean off the grass 'paste' that builds up underneath, including
the nooks and crannies. It's this paste that holds the damp and causes
the rust.

And grows some very interesting fungi at least it does on our mower
if SWMBO'd uses it. She doesn't clean it, Grrrrr..
