I have a Toro 4260 Zero turn and it squeeks a lot after it has been running for about a half hour. The squeeks appear to be from the rear wheels however I see no place to lube the wheel or axel. The front wheels also squeek a little and I have lubed thm by way of the greese fittings. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks nickpicker

Have a jack stand handy, jack up & remove one wheel at a time. Pick up a small can of anti-seize compound at auto parts store etc., & an old or inexpensive paint brush, apply compound to axles liberally, reinstall wheels & give it a try.

I have a 2014 Toro 4260, & there is no place to lube the rear on mine. Just the hydros there. If your back rims seem to be squeaking, check to make sure the lug nuts are good & tight..

But the front castor wheels Yes.. Besides the grease fitting for the bolt/axle. You can unbolt the top bolt on the caster, lower it to lube the bearings & shaft & re-assemble.

Take a can of white lithium greese, anything that moves, pivotal, rubs spray it on there. The advice above with the anti seize is good advice . Check your fluid in your hydros if possible

It may be the non serviceable type. In which case we just kinda hope for the best. Inspect hoses and joints for leaks

Thanks for the advice on the white lithium. I took the rear wheels off and gave everything that looked like it wanted some and it worked the noise is gone. Silence is golden--or in this case white lithium Thanks again

Hey buddy dont know about the rear wheel squeek
but if you remove the front wheels and take the steel
axle tube out and lube it by hand it should work

good luck
