    Question:
    I purchased a new zero turn mower and when I tried to grease the front wheel the grease fitting pulled out of the hole. then I tried greasing one of the spindle fittings and it would not take grease and blew the hose off of the line. then I mowed the yard and when I got done I went to grease fittings again and the one that wouldn't take grease was missing from the spindle. why would this happen with a brand new mower?

      Believe it or not the same thing happened to me on a MTD pro self propelled mower and a craftsman tractor style. I just changed the grease tip on my grease gun and it ripped them out. Needless to say I got rid of that tip and replaced it with a different brand and style. Charles
