Listen to killer
I had the same issue and went to Walmart and purchased a small spray bottle for .89 cents and used one or two sprays per body panel and had great results. Remember wipe on wipe off.
Had my Deere for years and no problems at all
I have a John Deere for 20 years and it still cuts like the day I bought it. The quality of the these machines is impecable. Make sure to get hydro static drive, it is worth the extra money
