greasing spindles

[Wilsonrl48747 0]

Just bought a rear discharge 36 in deck and went to grease the spindles, and 2 of the 3 wont allow me to pump grease into the zerks. I took the zerks off and cleaned them out, used wire to push the ball in and it seems to open, but when I put the zerks back on, same thing, it wont let me pump grease in. Any advice on what to check?

Thanks

Try pulling the zerk, and taking a small screwdriver, insert it into the hole on the spindle, wiggle it around and push out any hardened grease.

It sounds obscene, but it has worked for me in the past.

And test if it passes grease before you put it back on

If it doesn't you may want to try soaking it in Kerosene or something similar.

Best of luck
