I wish i would of seen this 2 years ago. My LM rusted by my rear wheel frame bad. Had to monkey wrench a steel bracket so the frame would Stay in tact. Works well. Will be trying this method for sure this winter. Would it work on existing rust spots? Thanks a ton

By the time I use the deck again after winter storage it doesn’t seem to affect the belt.

What ratio are you using?

[@danofalltrades3567]

Not really anything exact. A little oil and more diesel. You don’t really have to use any oil if you don’t want? Diesel will work on its own.
