The lube in it was a milky-coffee color, I welded a hook on the one side, its a lot easier to take the stump pan off, and change the blades that way, and while doing that, instead of using a vacuum pump or something, it just drains out, now I did this for several years, no issue, at all, just this year, I think its got to be water, makes no sense, it can't gain oil that is for sure LOL ! I think I'll do it over again, and see if I can find 000 lube etc. I don't know about not servicing a gearbox or any differential, I don't agree that they do not need periodic service, thats why rear ends get noisy, no one ever looks after them same with these kinds of mowers, I'd be real wary of spending any real money on a used one, unless I knew the history or it had not been abused.
I do the same with the sharpening, just block up the sides with 6x6's, and not so they can roll over, you can reach in for each blade with the 4" grinder etc.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
