Maintenance on a 2305 Grease question

[JustinCCIE]

Hi, I just hit the 50 hour mark on my 2305. I have a question about greasing the front loader, backhoe and other parts. Should I just pump the grease gun once or should I hit it a few times till grease comes out of the sides?

Thanks

Grease is cheap, put it to it. You should see it from the area.

YEAH! Pump it till ya see it!...its cheaper than a loader pin!

Pump it until you see it come out. You have been greasing the tractor prior to it hitting the 50 hr mark?, right?

Got a JD owners manual? good place to start for greasing info.

Grease it till you see it pushing out the old grease and a little new, then wipe off the excess. Don't forget the front pivot the power steering and tierod zerks. Also there is a zerk in the rear u joint on the driveshaft that is tough to get. Hope this helps Mark

That was my first thoughts. You are greasing it every 10 hours??????

Say Mark, I have a 2305, concerning greesing the front pivot. I have greased it several times, and it is always very difficult to get it ti accept any grease. I've raised the front axle off the ground without any benificial results. I do see a small amount of new grease oozing out of the pivot area, but there is a lot of back pressure. i.e. after removing the grease gun I pushed a pin in to the zerk fitting and more then normal amount of grease shoots out.Has any one else had this problem at this fitting. Also what has anyone done in this kind of situation?

Thanks for the info. Fred
