Hello there, I have a new 75A. There are two angled grease zerks on the inside of rear tires near each rear hub, on top of axle housing. My question is how much grease do these usually take? The owners manual doesn't even list these grease zerks anywhere or in any part of the maintenance. I put quite a bit of grease in each grease zerk and didnt see any come out anywhere. Thanks for the info!

I put 6 pumps every service. For my grease gun that is 1/3 oz. Just what I do, not what I was told or read :oops:

I was told to put in 3 pumps roll tire 1/3 pump 3 and roll 1/3rd again then 3 pumps and not to go overboard with the grease

You do not want to see the grease on those. That would be bad. Odd the manual says nothing. On my older Deere they are 600 hr grease fitting so every oil change (approx 200-250hr) they get 2 pumps each from grease gun. Been doing it that way for 40 years.

Most likely keeps the outboard axle shaft seal lubricated and any excess grease will migrate into the axle housing and eventually mix with the transmission fluid.

Interesting in as much as none of my Kubota's has outboard grease fittings
