Definitely use more grease than the manual indicates. My Wheel Horses get grease often and after use they get a blown off with my leaf blower. Helps keep debris off the deck. I'm always amazed to see tractor decks with three years of clippings on top.
Spindle pullies hot... normal?
Since I've been mulching leaves with my X500 & 48-inch deck, I removed the plastic covers over the two outer spindles. This allows easier removal of the leaf debris.
I noticed that even on a cool day the outer spindle pulleys are very warm to the touch after running for only around 5-mins. After a mulch session they are too hot to touch.
Is this normal?
Obviously I was never able to touch them prior to removing the plastic covers.
I could see them getting hot after 1-2 hours mowing but the fact that they were warm after only 5-mins has me puzzled.
