Mower deck spindle greasing

[bankershrs]

I have a 2014 Broadmoor, model 2691178, 52 in deck. How can I tell when I have pumped enough grease into the blade spindle grease zerks? The usual sign of grease oozing out somewhere isn't present, at least not from the top of the deck.

Yes, you might need to look under the deck. It's going to follow the least path of resistance.
Wherever that might be

On the underside of the deck on the side of each is a grease relief that grease will come out when the spindle is full.

Makes sense, thanks. Guess I'll jack up the front end of my tractor when I grease so I can see the underside of my spindles.

While it's up , grease the front axle pivot bearing that may have never been greased .

Thanks for the tip. Simplicity is new to me after 20 years of Cub Cadet. Totally different animal, especially the deck. I'm retired and have time to spend on the learning curve. The owners manual sucks, relying on these forums and You Tube to learn.

You're in the right place.. Many here know their stuff very well. ..

Or just raise deck all the way and look under deck for grease coming out with a flashlight.
