Replacing my deck on my bushog and would like to coat the underside against rust/corrosion.anyone have success doing this.paint works for the top.
 
Don't know what you use the machine for exactly, but as most folks around here use them, such a coating on the under side would last about a half hour of use.
 
Graphite paint, like what is used inside gravity boxes, works very well to make lawn mower decks easier to clean. It might also help on a brush cutter. Less grass sticks to the slick paint and what does stick is easier to scrap off. The paint at blade level and on the blade tips wears off quickly, but the paint on the bottom of the deck and on the trailing edges of the blade holds up for several seasons (over 100 hours).
 
Not the cleanest job. If you have a pressure washer, take and blast all of the crap off. Let it dry and then give everything a nice abundant coating of drain oil. I have one of those little hand held sand blast guns from Harbor Freight. Just fill the bottle up and off ya go. Absolutely best thing for it.

Something else you could do is simply wash, let dry, then coat the underside with a light coat of used oil after every few uses, or when the mower will sit unused for some length of time.
 
I bought a Moly spray the other day made especially for the job. I bought it for a ZT but it's made for mower decks where you don't want the grass clogging up when wet. Works well. I'm having my morning coffee in my skivvies. If I think about it later I'll get you a name.
