16 LA loader hidden grease fittings

[farmacist]

After 3 years I found 2 grease fittings on the 16LA that I never knew were there even though the manual grease page shows it as point #3. Who reads manuals.. You can ONLY get at it or see it when the loader is off. It is the bottom hole on the large upright that slips into the large pin on the tractor mid-mount support. It should only need grease every 2 years but don't neglect it like I did. Frank

I've greased mine twice. I have my loader off and will grease it again right before I put it back on the tractor. The lower spring-loaded seat only moves when installing or detaching the loader, so I think that's the only reason for the grease. ...I guess /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
