BX1500 54 inch MMM Advice

[obxstud2002]

I just pick up BX1500 with old 367 hours. It had the 54 in MMM. I got it from a dealer and he said the guy traded it in a zero turn well I got a good price on the tractor yesterday I mowed some and I am getting a lot of noise from the left hand side blade I ask the dealer about it and he said it was just dry from not been greased and so I pumped almost a whole small tube of grease in it yesterday and doesn't seem to help and I was wondering if any one else has had this problem I read some where on this form or another one it takes a lot of grease to for these spindles. Also wondering if anyone has done a replacement of this bearing

Thanks

Move the spindle by hand, any play? DOES it seem ......tough to move compared to the other?

And yes - those spindles do take a bit of grease to fill up!

Another thing you might want to check is that the blade is centered over the spindle shaft,,,,, and 2 that the bolt is tight,,, Don't ask!!!!
