Found a new zerk (Kioti CK27 HST)

[davrow]

While working near the main hydraulic distribution box under the right side of my tractor I noticed this device.
Does anyone know what this device is? (large oval)
Zerk at its base (small circle) is kind of hard to see here.
Pretty sure I've never greased that one.

I believe. That hooks to your transmission rod. It is a shock type device that helps slow down the transition from forward to reverse when you operate the directional pedal. My CK20 had it also. I don't remember ever greasing mine. Check your manual.
