Testing rebuilt mower deck

I took the old rusty mower deck, cleaned it down to its bare metal, put a good layer of herculiner on the bottom and rust resistant paint on the top, resharpened the blades, and replaced the belt. Here I see if it still works, and it does, but the bed liner gave out after a few minutes.

    as scooter said, it’s all in the preparation. gotta make sure all metal is primed first, and hit it with a scotch brite pad beforehand.. then use the bedliner on it and let it sit for a while before using the deck
