Preparing grass cutting equipment for new season
Lubricate the wheels of mower, choke cables, idler pulleys and safety controls periodically with an appropriate lubricant. Wheels on garden tractors will usually have grease fittings that require a grease gun for lubrication. Use good quality all-purpose grease and do not over grease it. Lawn mower wheels, handles, choke cables and stifle cables are best lubricated with a silicone-base aerosol spray. Sprays contain a lubricant and a carrier too. The carrier will fade away and leave a non-sticky lubricant on the part sprayed. Spray the higher ends of throttle and choke cables and allow the lubricant to flow down the cable inside the cable housing. Two to three applications may be required to get enough lubricant to the lower parts of the cable
