I just bought a JD 70, and they threw in a JD sickle mower. I suspect that rust is a big issue with the cutter and sliding parts. What do you guys do to protect your sickle cutters from rust and weather? I plan to restore this baby, clean it right up, but then also use it. Over winter to avoid rain and snow I plan to tarp it.

Thanks
Stu

STU: On parts like the sickle itself I like spray graphite.

I have an old JD 9w that I clip pasture with twice a year, bushogs arent for me, too expensive. Oil her down good! store in the dry, if yours is pitman type I would take the pitman off if I stored it outside, even under a tarp. Most pitmans are made from hickory, its tough but will rot faster than most other woods.

on my JD-38, JD-350, and the vicon disk, I fix anything that needs it before storage, then store them inside the maching shed, lay the bars down on an oil soaked 2x6, liberly oil the bar and sickle on top, add grease where needed, and loosen the belts. never a problem when pulled out next season.
