How do I repair rusted ride on mower deck

How do I repair a rusted out section of my ride on mower deck. I have seen advertised a product, Turbo Metal Bog, could you advise as to whether it would be okay to use, if so what other materials would be required. Image of rust damage attached.

Regards.....Ray

That does look like a go to product for metal repairs and much cheaper than Knead-it Metal with a potential downside of needing to get the 2 part mix right against the Knead-it cut a piece off and knead it...

I would wire brush all the rust and other contaminants off so you have a clean surface to work with. What you use to fill with is a bit of a personal choice, I go mostly with a putty knife on difficult or small surfaces or a five in one/multi-function scraper but a filling scraper blade is another option. Never used that bog before so no idea on how easy it will be to work with (Knead-it is thick and hard to spread out) so you may have a bit of a lumpy finish. I would expect it would need some sanding to pass the wife test and for a minimal tools job I would shape a cork sanding block for the inside curve with the outside much easier to sand.

You should use safety glasses, gloves and a mask.
