When you say rotate on the axle do you mean rotational pivot ? because if it is not pivoting freely it may have hairline cracks in the ring that holds the balls in place or some metal caught somewhere in it.
THE GRASS MAY BE GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT YOU STILL GOTTA MOW IT.

I.e. It's stuffed. I've brought 2nd hand ones which were stiff due to the dried up grease, but if yours is still fresh/clean but binding, it's probably time for a newie.
i had one like this i used as a spear when i broke one i would shove it in out in the bush and go then change back. thing was this little bugger took more punishment than ever and never broke for heaps so i say grease it up and use it mate
yeah was packed full of grease etc was only packed about 5 mths ago and withvery little wheeling in between but anyway we have changed it for another but will keep as a spare
but i just noticed that the more you play with it the more free its getting
thanks for the replys
cheers

They wouldnt be treated Cvs at all would they?
All the treated ones we ran were like that but lasted very well.
In time it does free up but if ya flog it enough then itll break before she frees up lol
