You're supposed to change belts or hoses before they break?

Change one in a bad field and the shop maintenance seems so much better.

I am wondering what failure mode would be caused by overgreasing.

I see it all the time. Too much grease pushes the seal out of the bearings.

Sometimes too cold or too stiff of grease is also an issue for the same reason.
