On the Power Trac FAQ page the following is given:
Why are the bearings failing on the mower deck?
"The bearings may not be greased properly- they must be greased at least every 8 hours, or you may not be using the right type of grease- a high-temperature, high-speed grease is recommended. Also check the belt on the mower to be sure it is tensioned properly. "
While the FAQ deals with the "mower" I was wondering if the same applies to the brush cutter since it seems the only grease fitting I see on it is located near the swivel wheel. The bearings seem to be sealed. Has anyone seen more than one grease zerk on the brush cutter? Is high temperature grease also necessary on the brush hog? Thanks.
