Take it from me Jim, keeping a deck clean will greatly increase it's life. I'm in the process of "revitalizing" a mower deck that I aquired from a friend a few weeks ago. He had just set it up for a couple years and neglected to clean it. The underside was caked in rust. Fortunately it wasn't all the way through and can be saved. Cleaning can be a hassle. When I drop the deck I place an old rug under it so when it is free of the lawn tractor I can tug on the rug to pull it out. Sometimes, like you, I hose it off but then I use my leaf blower or air compressor to dry it top and bottom. 300 hours is very good life for a set of blades. Some of the guys on this board have sprayed the underside of their deck with epoxy paint to help shed the grass clippings. One of my neighbors even tried "Pam" and WD-40. He said it worked reasonably well but he got tired of having to apply it everytime he cut his grass. Go figure. Good luck,
Beaux Regular upkeep is the key to a long life.
