In reply to James. Thanks for the comment. Removing the hardware would allow for more access to the topside of the deck but considering this is an old workhorse mower for around the farm I wasn't too concerned with perfection. However, it has already been two years since this paintjob was done and it is still holding up very well. I do agree the Rustoleum Farm Equipment Paint was worth the small extra cost to match the true John Deere Yellow color and it has proven to be very durable. Best of luck on your projects!

Not really too hard to remove all the hardware for a more complete job. Doing this also lend itself to checking all parts for wear and that all are properly tightened. Results here are very impressive and I can vouch for the specialty farm equipment paint. It is worth the extra cost for sure and keeps true colors.

In reply to Cory Carrier. Thanks for stopping by, sounds like a good project. As a final coat you could always try using an automotive wax or ceramic coating. Best of luck.

I bought a John Deere la135 a couple weeks ago.. the mower deck needed work on both the top and bottom.. I use the same technique to get rid of the grass clumps and loose rust… The top I pulled all the pieces off pulleys iler down to the bare shell.. I used a wire wheel which helped in certain spots.. so I got all the paint off the top.. first thing I put on was Rust-Oleum rust reformer..then I use Rust-Oleum automotive primer.. then I finished off with rustoleum’s farm equipment John Deere yellow… It came out great… I’m trying to decide if I need to put anything after the farm equipment yellow..

I bought a 2016 D140 off of a previous owner only to find out the mower deck and green metal has areas of peel and rust. I will try to use the same technique for other areas of the body.

Thanks for Making this blog
