Greasing Mower Spindles

• Greasing your mower spindle depends on the usage. The more you use it, the more grease it needs. If you are an average user, you need to grease your mower spindles at least once a month.
• This will lubricate the interior moving parts in the mower. Keeping the internal parts well lubricated extends the life of the mower.
• The amount of grease needed for your mower spindles also depends on how you use it. For personal mowing, it can be sufficient to grease them two times in a mowing season.
• If you are a commercial mower, you should grease the mower spindle daily. This is because you spend many hours using it and it might get destroyed easily if it doesn’t get enough lubrication.

• Keep in mind that mower spindles have large cavities that need enough lubrication. It would be best to grease the spindles until grease can be seen coming out of the weep hole at their base.
• There are grease fittings on each spindle. They are called zerk fittings. You can grease them easily without removing other parts.

• Remember to change the oil when the lawn-mowing season is over. Changing oil is also crucial as it makes the mower last longer.
• Failing to change the oil leads to oil deposits settling on the engine. You might also want to add fresh gasoline and maintain the blade as part of the maintenance process.
