Hi there,
I bought Cuc Cadet entry level PRO mower for my Acreage last year and it now has approx 60 hours on it. It is steering wheel based zero turn not those bar type. I did not know about Greasing and have not greased it even once. Manual says to grease front wheels ( 2 zerk fittings on each front wheel) and spindle ( 3 zerk fittings one on each blade) every 25 hours so I am more than double the recommended 25 hour grease interval. Do you see any issues?
Now I bought a grease gun and grease. As I am fan of synthetic engine oil, I thought that the synthetic grease will be good so I bought Valvoline full synthetic gray grease. However it says that it is Moly fortified. Then I read on some of BITOG threads that Moly based grease are not appropriate for wheel beerings or any other High speed High load application. As the mower normally runs very slow speed I would not worry about wheels but what baiut the spindles. Are those considered high speed high load category? Mower has a 24 hp kawasaki engine and I only run mower deck when full throttle.
Nowthat I have put the grease cartridge in the grease gun,it is not possible to return so I was wondering if I use or discard this Valvoline Moly fortified Gray full synthetic grease.
