Was the old bearing you are replacing, a greasable bearing? Sounds like you are replacing a greasable bearing with a sealed bearing. If you went to a parts store and bought a replacement bearing simply by the dimensions of the old bearing (not per make, model, year of mower), you probably needed to specify that it was a greasable bearing you are replacing. If you didn't tell them that, they probably assumed you needed a sealed bearing (new stuff has just about went to sealed bearings on everything), and gave you the wrong bearing. The maker of the mower could of started using the sealed bearing, and discontinued sales of the greasable (sealed now replaces the greasable), but I'm guessing the other scenerio is more likely. Even if not, you should of been able to still buy a greasable bearing going by the dimensions of the old, IF dealing with the right place. I'd of put a greasable one back on if it were me. Call me old school if you want, or reluctant to change. And that's not entirely where it's at for me. I'm a bigger stickler for putting something back together as it was before, than most people. I have enough headaches the way it is, by not adding to it with a bunch of, I shouldn't have done this or that.
