I took deliver of my new 6' Agmate Rear Mower from Agri Supply this past Friday.
First thing I did was to make sure everything was tight. Next I checked the gear box for oil, and had to add some. Last was to grease each spindle. The center and right spindles (looking from the rear) both took about 30-35 pumps of grease until I saw it coming out the bottom of the spindles by the shields. The left spindle, after 40 pumps wasn't showing any signs of grease exiting. I took the top covers off and all the grease had come out the top. The center and right didn't have any come out the top.
Would this just be a bad bearing seal on the top?
I called Agri Supply and explained it to the CS rep, he said he'd send me out a new spindle assembly right away. I've purchased a few things from them and there customer service is great.
Another thing was I had to do was cut down the driveshaft. Once I tried hooking it up to the tractor, the u-joint was an inch beyond the PTO shaft.
With the deck mounted and the driveshaft connected, despite the spindle seal issue, I decide to try it out anyways. The mower did a great job! It was quiet and really did a nice job cutting.
