Conditions the same, except temp is now 82*f.
Been out in the garage, more work on the deck, looking for hidden stress cracks, as it's going to be painted J-D Yellow per OEM when I finish it, and yellow shows cracks better than any other color, even white !
Right now, I'm trying to find a small sand-blaster to borrow, somebody I know has to have one, but if not, I'll go & buy one to do this job. Lots of areas on the deck can't be gotten to with a wire brush or sanding disc, and it really needs to be cleaned because there's a lot of surface rust. But then, it is 36 years or so old & lawn equipment don't get maintained/washed nearly as much as it needs.
I bought a special extension wand for my hose years ago, just to wash the underside of the decks. Grass clippings are terribly corrosive, and even more so if folks use fertilizer on the lawn.
Snow removal equipment, same thing, wash when done because of salt build up. (I know, "what's road salt ?")
