Great job to bad others are not into your kind of care for your equipment. I`m the same way with all my equipment make s me proud and i get top dollar once i go to sell. Oh yes about the brush comment the bristles are soft so no problem there. Mow on and remember drinking and driving on your mowers are gonna be ruff on your beer so drink fast.
Dang your old tractor looked immaculate! I have the E170 coming and I'll be detailing it before use as well. An excellent product to use on the black plastics is 303 aerospace protectant. I starting using it on my SUV, even on interior trim and leather. Really awesome stuff that some car detailers use. Lots of RU-vid videos about it if you want to check it out.
@@PovertyPointCustoms Doesn't matter how soft or how well rinsed a brush is. That physical scrubbing will induce scratches. Foam cannon, gentle rinse with hose, 2 bucket system with grit-guards and microfibre mitts, then gentle rinse and blow dry with a Stihl leaf blower. Never wash/dry in a breeze - too much atmospheric grit. You may think you are doing a great job with the hose and spray gun but really it's an amateur wash-job, inducing swirls and micro-scratches. By the way, WD-40 is the best water displacer after a wash.
never wash a John Deere mower with a power washer or a garden hose! you will destroy bearings in the spindles. when mower is dry blow grass clippings at med speed with leaf blower. use best quality grease like loucos oil xtra heavy duty grease for farm equipment. use spray wax on motor to clean dust-----spray wax outside--tire shine tires Bam --it looks great and you wont hurt the tractor.
The bearings in the spindles on the deck are sealed on both sides take it apart and look. None of the expensive grease you’re pumping into the spindles on the deck is doing anything for the bearings. Check out Steve’s small engine saloon there is a video about this topic.
