I borrowed a mower from a friend and when I got ready to start mowing I discovered that the right, rear wheel is frozen. Won't turn at all. Just drags the ground. I think I need to hire a few goats.

At least now you know why he loaned it to you.
Nope. It was rolling when he brought it to me. He told me I could keep it if I wanted to. He has a bunch of them.

I got it moving. I removed the wheel, wiped off the shaft and added some grease. Put it back on, worked it by hand until it loosened up and then pushed it around the yard for a few minutes. I also shot the other wheels with some WD40. It's still a little stiff but continues to loosen up and I will mow my front yard tomorrow. Unless something else happens.
