I dont have a maint/repair manual for the B6000 and maybe if I did, it would show me this.....but does anyone know what you are supposed to do as far as lubrication for the front axle pivot pin? The large single one under the engine, that supports the entire axle beam. I find it strange that Kubota failed to put a zerk fitting here so you could grease it. My steering is pretty loose, and while it seems to be combination of sloppy fits, one place I noticed with lots of play was that pivot pin.

Sometime I may pull it out to machine a new one, as I imagine it has alot of wear on it, hence the slop.

So is it just not supposed to be greased, or do you have to pull it each time to do so, or what?

It self lubes off of the gear case oil in the front diff. If you pull that pin out you would see that it is open inside, there are o-rings to keep junk out but it should get some lube from the gear oil in there. The ring gear should sling it on to it.
