Woods Batwing Mower 2 year Review...Good, bad and Ugly?
What happens here
Locate the various lubrication points on the Woods Batwing mower. The design makes these points easily accessible. For the main drive shafts and gearboxes, simply lift the magnetic covers. These covers stick up, holding themselves in place magnetically, allowing you to rotate the drive shafts to find the grease fittings. The gearboxes also have easy access for checking and changing oil (recommended annually). The presenter highlights that these design choices simplify routine maintenance.
Goal: Understand the lubrication points and process for the mower's drive system.
