After a mowing season and a half, I noticed some surface rust on the underside of the mower deck of my lawn tractor. Here's what I did to fix it.

A quick look at setting and checking ShopSmith alignment.

Now that everything has been taken apart, inspected, and cleaned, it's time to put my ShopSmith Mark V back together. This step is pretty easy.

In this installment of the Shopsmith refurb series, we take start the process to bring it back to life.
