Re: (ET) Grease Your ET's Axle Spindle

[Steve Welch <oneoldbird icloud com>]

Good call.  I had one get galled / seized years ago, and I thought I had greased it.  Since then I hit all of the zerks at least once a year, and more often if the steering effort goes up even a bit.

Hi All.

I mowed several times this spring with my C-185 [E20[ and noticed the steering was very tight.

Then I remembered that is the late 1990s I greased the front axle spindle.

Today after a quick grease job, the steering Is like new.

Maybe I should grease these axles more often

 

The ET manual at

http://www.myelec-traks.com/GEZ-5021b.pdf

on pages 127 and 128 shows the axle spindle grease fittings.

Need to turn the front wheels full left and right for access to the grease fittings.

 

Thanks,
