Thanks for the shot brew, I looked at it this weekend and thought that must have been it. Its fully seated, I did everything just short of putting dielectric grease on it and re-seating. I am gonna run it again this week and see if its working. We got the heat on so I am expecting it to run > cold this time around.
I noticed the spindles on my 60" MMM run hotter than the bota. I have read about the greasing issue here before, and did a thorogh job of greasing before using for the first time. After I mowed last time, I could not keep my hand on the zerk fitting. Kind of a strange question, but after all these years, maybe I will gain some addtional knowledge.
When my deck was hot, I tried to grease the zerks, they would not except any grease, it was like I had a bad fit up on the zerk. I struggled with all of them and still feel I did not get any grease past the zerk, just all over the spindle. I gonna try before I mow.
Question is: Could the heat have a direct effect on the zerk not working properly? I know metal expands, but wholly ****! Never had this issue before, where I could not get ANYTHING past the CLEAN zerk.
