DK4210 SE Questions

[Abel72]

I recently purchased a DK4210 and plan to spend tomorrow going over the tractor. I do have a couple of questions; 1) What size are the lugnuts on the tractor? I plan to tighten everything up or at least check them to make sure they have stayed snug.2) Is there a better way to get a grease gun end on the recessed zerks? I have a standard gun and it is hit or miss on getting a gun on them. BTW,the tractor only has ten hours on it but I tend to like to go through new equipment early on just so that I know where everything is.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you know this or not, but the tip on a standard grease gun is threaded. You can "lefty loosey" to open up the jaws on the gun tip, then "righty tighty" to grip the zerk. I only learned this myself about a month ago after an embarrassingly long number of years of just trying to jam it on the zerk. Then after a few times using this new knowledge, I bought a lock-n-lube. :laughing:

Thanks - i just ordered a lock n lube myself - it seems like the answer to my issue

You'll be happy with the lock n lube. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the price I paid for it.

Bought the lock n lube - don’t know how I ever lived without one
