Sapper, how did you take such good care of it that it remains so clean to this day?
Readers could learn.
Hey MF, I think the secret to my success has been a dry, sandy front lawn. I mow the back first, fairly lush and much wetter soil there. Then I head out the front where all the crap is almost sand blasted off due to how dry it is there. I virtually never have any grass build up under the deck.
Also, every pancake day, I will give the underside a good spraying of WD-40.
Mind you, the thing does flex a bit at the handles if I try to turn it a bit too quick, so yeah, these things are flimsy.
