<font color=blue>He says people 'blow out the seals'</font color=blue>
At that point, I'd have had to ask him to show me one of the new seals he was talking about. Now mind you, I don't know about that MMM, and I know that 45 years ago some people worried about a grease monkey blowing out the seals on the tie rod ends on their cars (occasionally, though infrequently, had a customer who wanted to watch me grease his car and wanted me to use the manual grease gun instead of the air powered one), but I've never seen a seal on a mower spindle. I'm certainly not saying such doesn't exist, but I'm skeptical.
