How many Zerk fittings on a BX25D?

[dragoneggs]

I seem to be finding another one each time I lube! Haven't seen in the manual, the specific locations for all. Am I missing it somewhere? :confused3:

Are you including the loader and BH, or just the tractor itself? I think there's only one on the tractor and that's for the treadle pedal and is under that flap door in the rubber/plastic floor mat. Now as for the loader and BH, there's a lot. I have counted them once or twice but forgot the number. I think the BH was something like 18. Just look for every place there's rotational movement.

Yes including FEL and BH... I don't think I have found 18 on the BH!

Okay CalG, I will bite. What's the difference? Just brand name? I am assuming that Alemite is what is on my BX?

I just call them grease fittings.

I'm with you... but I don't mind paying homage to Oscar Zerk. His design (1929 patent) made them what they are today.

There are quite a few on FEL and BH. Then there is more on the MMM. fun isnt it? I got the MMM counted but not FEL and BH :confused2:I just look for movement areas and grease it.

I did not count them but I know after 20 mins of greasing everything this morning. I went back over everything and I missed the bottom swing cylinder.
