My brother in law bought a new 6’ LP brush mower and has used it for about a month, not really cutting much really. Saturday, have asked me to come out to help him grease his tractor and so I did. I told him we needed to do the mower as well. I couldn’t get the pro shaft u-joints without removing the shaft. Once off, I showed him that both joints felt a little rough when moved. There was no evidence that they joints were greased. It took several seconds on each one with a Dewalt power grease gun toget some grease to appear at the cups. In other word, the joints probably only had the grease on the needle bearings that was there when they were installed on the pro shaft. Once greased, they were nice and smooth like they should be. I told him to let the dealer know about this. The rear wheel and shaft were the same way....no grease.
So, if you have a new LP brush mower you might want to check the pro shaft rear wheel shaft and wheel grease.
