(My first post)
I've finally found out that there is a grease fitting on the front PTO axle on my G1800S but it is too late . Every time I turn the PTO shaft it squeals at a certain spot and is really hard to turn, the mower itself struggles to drive it and is inconsistent at turning it. I'm pretty sure one (or both) of the bearings are toast, meaning I may have to replace them... I was wondering if anybody else knew how to replace the bearings (I know you are out there somewhere). All I ask for, are some tips on doing it, for instance, do both the needle bearing and the ball bearing come out with the shaft, or do I have to tap them out separately? If so... how and what tools may I need?
Thank You to anyone who attempts to help me or let alone reads this post.:thumbsup:
Thanks,
Jordan
