Thank you for contacting the AnswerARMY.
It is upsetting that you have had this concern.
I would ask that you have an authorized service center inspect the unit. At this point I am not sure there is anything wrong with the unit. I think what you have done to lubricate is as good as it gets. I would suggest that you adjust the seat for the operating position. This may crowd you for mounting and dismounting the mower.
