My 'Country-Clipper' zero turn has grease zirks for the deck spindle bearings...fantastic!...I think...these will last forever! So I grease the deck spindles religiously and in about three years I have a noisy and loose center blade spindle?

My somewhat cheaper big Poulan conventional lawn mower is the same way....greaseable deck spindles but sealed bearings.
