Here's some clips on two customer properties while testing the functionality, performance, and cut quality while also mulching.

Right on, brother! I'm glad to see you out doing your thing.
How long did this project take?

Hey, thanks for that, Zoama.

It was a leisurely on-and-off process over about 4 weeks, I think, from when I got the deck till it was done, as there were parts and materials to order and wait for, etc.

I need to send you a microcontroller to hook to the camera and and little more work, it can mow for you. Kidding. Nice work. Good thing you sprayed it, will last a lot longer. We get a lot of decks that are a pain and not worth fixing

What motor mods did you do?

[christian]

Well,

They were two simple ones, by just putting an 11 hp head (with some slight modification) on the 12 hp flathead motor, which made the compression higher. And there was some slight grinding and sanding at the "eyebrow" just beyond the valve seats.

A pulley that was a half inch larger was also used, to give a bit more torque at the deck without slowing the blade speed much, I think.

Yeah, I think that POR 15 stuff is the right thing for deck preservation, along with a spray top coat.

POR15 is not cheap but worth it on a lawn mower deck for sure. The silver does not mix well but the other color do. Neat project.
