It`s an expansive machine, the maintenace ensures it will last you a long time, well done Kevin. Last year I completely broke down my 2 stage snow blower, hit every grease fitting, cleaned and greased the shearpins, I bought the cold weather lithium grease and took the wheels off, and wire brushed and greased the shafts, because I heard with the wet enviroment, the wheels can seize to the shaft, and then you have all kinds of problems. This fall the wheels came right off, and I regreased everything, it`s running like a top, have a great New Year to you and Julie.
If you don't do the maintence on them it will cost a lot more in the long run when something happens to it, thanks for watching and have a Happy New Year Joe.
8:04 A simple 5 minute hand blower to the top of that deck AFTER each cutting would keep that from building up, and if you use all day blow it off when taking a brake
Great video, but one thing i also do to the blades is balance them. I maintain two commercial 3 blade Snappers and a John Deere riding mower. I used to use a nail after I cleaned them, then I found the Oregon Blade balancer. Works the same as my old Snap-On tire balancer. I notice there is not as much vibration in the deck when the blades are engaged.

You make it interesting, even for people like me who don't own any of that equipment. May you and Julie, and all your family have a great New Year.

Thanks for sharing
10:21 We keep those covers OFF where that build up WON'T happen
Good tip thanks.
You didn’t grease the wheels on the mowing deck, each wheel has a grease fitting
Thanks for the comment
That lift sure is crying
It works thanks for the comment.
Hey get a couple of lifting straps
Good idea thanks.
Remove it and stand it up, then you can oil it easily all winter
Thanks for the idea.
