LX277 Steering Lube

[wfrpalm]

I have a LX277 and I have never lubed the steering, should I have and if so how do you do it.

Yes
and the instructions are in your owners handbook
Pay particular attention to the bush at the bottom of the shaft.
I use Tri-Flow dry on them, you get it form a pushbike shop .
It is a teflon lubricant in an evaporating carrier so it won't collect dust.
The gears get a spray with dry lithium grease, after being blown down to clean them before putting it away, not before mowing as it takes about 1/2 hour for most of them to dry fully.

As stated, use dry lube. Never use grease, as it will attract dirt and lead to premature failures.

Thanks Rivets and bertsmobile1, I will do that.

Thanks Rivets and bertsmobile1, I will do that.

All good information. If I could add one thing, the front axle spindles each have a grease zerk. That is the only part of the steering it is ok to grease.
