I have a King Kutter landscaping rake and Countyline back blade. Is there a way to lubricate the swivel on these implements? 
Rear back blade / Landscaping rake?

unless you want to go through trying to put a grease fitting on, just oil it as best you can. They will wear no mater what you do.

Greasing isn't really necessary. The swivel aren't under any constant load or are swiveled that often.
You can use a spray white grease and give the swivels a good shot. I've done this with a very old (no idea of the brand, but wouldn't be surprised if it's older then I am) rear blade I've had for years...still swivels.
If these implements are left outside, it probably wouldn't hurt to spray them occasionally (prevent rust).

If you are really serious drop the blade and apply grease by hand.

That's actually a water displacement spray. Good stuff, but doesn't provide lasting lubrication.

Second the white lithium spray grease and I use a spray silicon grease to spray the whole thing with if I know it's not going to be used for some time and left outside.

If you have access to some Cylesso use that. It's kinda stick and spreads over everything quite well.:laughing:

Well, it is a "light lubricant", but I guess the spray grease would be best. I've never used any before...

I thought about doing that, but the only thing that concerns me about lubricating the swivels, since they are not sealed, if you grease or oil it, it will attract dirt.
