You might be thinking, 'Hey man, I like the green paint on my lawnmower, it adds character!'
I'm not talking about that, amigo. Sometimes lawn cuttings stick to the bottom of your lawnmower, especially when wet. You can use a scraper to remove the grass from the bottom- just make sure you have your spark plug unplugged, or 'Aieeeee!' No fingers. After the grass buildup is removed, you might notice some rust on the bottom. This will only get worse year after year- but here's the trick. Empty your old engine oil into an oil pan at the end of cutting season, and it should be pretty dark. Find a cheap paint brush (dollar store special), dip it in the old oil and paint the bottom of your lawnmower where the rust is. This will prevent any more rust from occurring during the Winter and early Spring months.
