@Redav72   when dealing with any neglected paint , faded / chalky , my first thought is stopping whats going on , MARVEL MYSTERY OIL , is good , also like KROIL OIL, any penetrating oil in aerosol form , will quickly cut thru the grunge and get into seaming metal cinnections. let it sit a day , prefably in a heat  , sun ,  so the metal gets hot and draws in the lubricant . wipe that down clean cloth , do it again , those 2 coats will typically break thru the grunge , and you will notice a possible shiene breaking thru. like  a 6" electric palm buffer , with any cleaner wax , makes it easy / simple . try an experimental area , to see effects , and what  steps you did to get to shinny paint. once you find that , go at it in , small steps . also like 303  brand vinyl care , for plastic / seat  recovery . having done this many times , don,t even think about it , just do it , regularly wipe down my horses with clean  oil sprayed cloth , they just pop with color , very easy to do .  anything else , just ask , get shinny , pete

Do newmower spindlescome greased

I have a 42” deck and I’m greasing the spindles for the first time.  2 of the three are refusing to take new grease.  I pulled the fitting off and confirmed that the fitting itself is not at fault.  Under the fitting is a fair bit of congealed grease.  I sprayed some PBlaster and got a column of aged grease back.  However when I attempt to add more grease to the spindle I’m stopped after one pump.  Any way to flush the spindle of the old stuff?

@Redav72   good follow up on that ,  thumbs up to all the members giving insight to the issue , also think its great that the original intent was to lubricate related bearings , keep it lubricated , pete

Can you overgrease mower spindles

like pullstart said some heat and I have also put oil in the grease gun and pumped it into bearings then flush with new grease.

I’ve had plenty of greaseables get clogged solid from lack of grease maintenance.  A little heat from a MAP gas torch and it should get soft enough to pass through again.

How much grease to put in mower spindlesreddit

Thanks Pete.  Hey I've been meaning to ask.  When you say "your preferred penetrating oil" for paint care, what is your preferred brand?
