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?
Tearing down the deck on this particular mower ain't too bad a job...so I strip the center spindle from it and take it apart..only to find worn-out sealed bearings and a spindle housing full of grease!...I was ------!
My somewhat cheaper big Poulan conventional lawn mower is the same way....greaseable deck spindles but sealed bearings. Both the Country Clipper and the Poulan use the exact same bearings...at the parts store obtaining some spindle bearings...they had an expensive bearing(like $25!..) and a 'El-Cheapo brand bearing in stock...but not two of the same brand.. :roll: ...
So now when a deck bearing rumbles I just buy cheaper brand X bearings and pop the inside seals out...pack the spindle like a wheel bearing and get on with life...
