a scag that was purchased last year. they never looked at the owners manual. i never had the chance to. well....last week the front bearings had completely disintegrated from neglect of no recommended greasing since bought. wow...

[@Brotherslawn23]

Most don’t understand that a 5-10 tube of grease can save them a lot in parts and more in down time.

[@ericrhodes7648]

You didn’t mention the wheel pivot spindles. It is very important to grease them as well.

[@tigergreg8]

Probably important, but not everything has to be greased as often as others. He was getting the major points during this video.

[@Brotherslawn23]

I’m not sure what wheel pivots you’re talking about. If you mean the park brake pivots the tiger cat 2s don’t have them like the tiger cat ones.

[@Brotherslawn23]

They are all important but the spindles and front wheel bearings are your big ticket items.

[@Brotherslawn23]

If you meant the front fork bearings above the front wheels they call for 500 hr or once a year grease. But I did forget to add that to video

Good morning sir Do you use the grease for all the fittings ? What number grease is that ? The number 1 or 2 ? On the manual it tells you to use a type for spindles and another for the chassis

[@Brotherslawn23]

Yes I know according to the manual your supposed to use lithium I believe on the spindles and chassis grease for everything else. I haven’t ever used but one grease, in my opinion it’s more important how often you grease than the grease that you use.

[@juanestrada1647]

Thank you

[@Tyhu13]

What kind of grease do you use ??? One kind of grease for everything or two different kind

[@Brotherslawn23]

I use the red high temp grease from Lucas.

[@tigergreg8]

It does call for 2 different types for certain areas, but as he wrote, red is for most areas, but a Lithium is used other places.

[@LS3438]

Do you use the scag grease, how long do you wait before re greasing?

[@Brotherslawn23]

I use Lucas red high temp but. I try to grease it once a week. The book calls for 25 hour grease increments.

[@LS3438]

@@Brotherslawn23 I agree on greasing those things every week or every 2 weeks.. I got 7.5 hours on mine and the front caster axles are already squeaking.. I have some of the green Lucas x-duty I may switch over to that. I know one thing, they don’t grease properly from the factory. Mine wasn’t.

[@Brotherslawn23]

@@LS3438 unfortunately it seems some of the quality control has been slipping lately, the dealer is also to blame when they do the presale inspection and pre delivery inspection it should all be checked.

[@tigergreg8]

@@LS3438 I am thinking of buying one of these used, and I'd never rely on anyone to do the right thing. You're better off acting as though you are starting from total scratch. Hell, even so called mechanics forget to bolt shit on vehicles etc. I don't trust anyone to do the right thing.

@@tigergreg8 I’ve been going through issues since I purchased back in mid April. Got a call today. Getting an upgrade 36 hp engine , instead of the 32hp version. Hopefully my issues will be resolved. I love the machine but it’s just a terrible experience having to go through what’s happened to me..
