been doing this for years ,  most important to  BREAK THE GRUNGE CLCLE ,  any collective , moist  grass , debris . personally like the open gear and chain spray , it stains the metal black with protection , another vital part is your , sun mounting point , you want hours on this ,to dry and soak in . did an initial , spindle bearing swap on it , Lucas  550 deg grease  , also did related pulleys , very quiet , solid , deck actually gets very warm . proof of  moisture elimination , just one of the things , I regularly do to ensure  solid reliable usage . also did any related bearing , in the mule drive / pto set up , engagement is quiet and squeal free . keep it greasy , pete
