GREASE FITTING

Recommended Posts

tarcoleo

Is it true that Geico can save you 15% on your car insurance? Do smart Wheel Horse owners remove the grease fitting on the primary (center) deck spindle except when

greasing it?

I had to leave mine out cause on my 48in, the middle spindle fitting hits on the lift bar and then the fitting is grounded off. If the fitting is taken off, then the clearence is just perfect.

Is it still 15% ?? :WRS: Can you bundle for a bigger %%% :hide:

I had the same issue. I resolved it by adding a couple of washers which pulled the lift bar over and away from the center spindle.

Is this only a problem on the 48" decks or 42" also?

It's close on my 42 and on my 48 I have had the same problem. It has knocked it off several times. I ended up just taking it out. Putting it back in to grease. The washer thing looks like a good option.

I guess it is nice to know that others have the same problem. I've knocked out a

bunch of the center zerk fittings and now I go zerkless. Maybe I'll try the washer

thing as I've got to take the deck off today and figure out why I was getting sparks

on the right side deck pulley. Not a good sign!

Daniel-

Your photo of the washers/hairpin solution gave me an idea that a washer/shaft collar arrangement might also work. Tried it and it does.
