BenRich ease up on the overly anal greasing of the zerks, too much grease can be just as bad as no grease as all. You can blow seals and such with too much grease. You dont loose any lubrication in 2 hours worth of work.

Eric - Thanks for the tip. There are no seals on eight of the zerks, just metal to metal bearings. The three remaining zerks are the blade spindles and they each get two squirts whether they want it or not. I would rather have too much grease than not enough... grease is cheap, repairs and parts are expensive.
