[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1699443, member: 18945"] 000 is still pretty much liquid. This isn't the 1st lube chart I've seen where they equate the thickness to something we are more familiar with. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amsoil.com/newsstand/auto-and-light-truck/articles/a-closer-look-at-grease/[/URL] If the wings are folded up in the straight vertical position, firmly pull OUT on the blade rotating assy and rock it back and forth gently. That puts the meshing gears closer to the same position they would be if the wing was down and allows you to feel how much backlash (wear) may be in the gears. If the castlenut has been loose for any length of time, you will probably encounter worn splines later down the road and you can't always just tighten the nut up enough to take the slack out. When we took in mowers/shredders/bushhogs as trade at the Kubota dealership, the very first thing we did was drain flush and refill the gearboxes. Did one, and the 'stuff' that came out was a mix of heavy wt lube and sawdust. An old trick to quieten a gb just long enough to get rid of it. Didn't look like it had been leaking underneath, but the box was trashed with way too much backlash. I've had 2 of the smaller Rhinos and they used to be really good mowers. [/QUOTE]
