Thanks to whoever posted about filling the mower spindles with grease on the Kubota RCK60-24B MMM. It took 100 strokes on the grease gun to get grease to ooze out of the above-blade witness hole of the Left spindle. Center and Right spindles were happy with about 20 strokes.
I didn't know about those witness holes and thought I was good if I gave each spindle 6 to 8 strokes each time I mowed. Apparently the dealer didn't know about them either. Ran the whole first season without enough grease
It made a difference. The mower runs noticeably quieter now. Hope I don't lose spindle bearings down the road because of this.
