So I just picked up my new 72” finish mower a few days ago and I’m getting it all set up. I get her hitched up, set the wheels, and then take off the cover to grease the spindles. Lo and behold, they’ve painted EVERYTHING. the belt, the spindles, the shear bolt and nut. The gearbox bearing. The ZERKS. Is this normal or did I get a messed up machine here?? Any recommendations for what I need to scrape off, and what I can leave? Will those zerks ever take any grease?
