New stiga deck.

[rob h]

Our old stiga has gone through 2 decks both been patched up till their isn't much good metal to weld to. So while it's been raining I decided to have a go at making one.this is the current one and the original

So started with a bit of galvanised sheet and knocked this up

Just checked its a 99. Not sure how old the engine is as it threw a piston out 6 or7 years ago and got replaced with a second hand one

Put a wash point in it. It will help keep it longer.

I spray oil/diesel in the wash point at end of season once it's completely clean.

 

[rob h]

Wash point.?

It's just a bit on top of deck you can connect a hose too.

Just googled it does splashing a bit of water round do much. And does it shorten the life of the bottom bearings

It keeps the grass from sticking to the underside of the deck if done every time you use it. It actually saves bearings a it keeps the wet grass from sticking in them and then not being removed if that makes sense

Compressor is much better.

Dealer explained to me that storing a mover with a wet deck was going to rot
Dont think u can win either way . The metal on my kubota is thick enough i think, gets a wash and then paint the bits that hold shite once a year ish .
