When I re-made the deck on my high-wheeler I used stainless steel. Works a treat, but mowing on a sunny day REQUIRES wearing sun glasses!!!!

Good idea. I've a Toro which is suffering serious mower deck rot. Along with a few other problems. Heck, I';ve got almost $30 in it, not sure if I want to keep up the effort. (it was a found mower given me by a friend. He now wishes he had kept it.)

What? And lose the "bling" factor and the Stevie Wonder look?
I'll put up with the glare - I'm supposed to wear sun protection anyeay (cataracts)
Just let it get dusty and don't bother washing it off works too, but I hate putting it away dirty.
The mower I just used is a deck from a 22" unit that junior dragged home afterit suffered a bent crank due to eithe a large rock or concrete step plus a serious infection by the "eye-dee-ten- tea"mechanic virus and the motor from a dumpster dive by second son that developed independent suspension. No, Clare, I still haven't motorized the stainless deck you provided; I'm still looking for a bag unit to fit the self propelled power unit destined for it, I may end up going bagless.
Good to see you still have plans for it Gerry. Did I have the blue Bolton engine on my hi-wheeler when you were up or did I still have the little old Briggs on it???
I'll be rebuilding a little Deere rider this summer - Kawasaki engine that the crankcase bolts backed out of, causing the base gasket to allow oil to escape all over the place.
Huh?
Bagless is much better for the lawn. And letting the grass get longer is better, too. It uses less water. Mulch the cut stuff and it disappears into the long grass instantly, so the wifey is OK with it.
IIRC it was the B&S

And again: "Huh"?
