Grease gun/ grease recommendations
For EZ lube axle, what brand do you use for the wheel bearing grease. Thank you -Peter

Both camps here.
There is merit to “doing it wrong” and blowing out the seals.
There is merit to disassembly and inspection.
And there is nothing wrong with adding some grease thru an easy lube or bearing buddy IF you know what you’re doing and understand.
Grease? I’m not generally a “this oil, grease , lube is the best” fanboy but I typically use Lucas red n tacky for basically all applications. Bearings, u joints, front end parts etc.
Seems to last the longest. But anecdotal evidence only, I only grease our old commercial mowers once a year. They get used weekly for a couple hours from Apr to Oct. Just homeowner use keeping up 5 acres.
If those blade and spindle bearings survive then it’s good grease.
