JD 1026R

[x everything]

Hello,
For those that own a 1026R have you had to grease to U joints on the Drive Shaft from the engine to the transmission yet?
Or even seen in your manual that there are grease nipples to grease on that Drive Shaft?

I am wondering if it is like the 2305 where is almost impossible to get at the grease nipples let alone grease them?

Thanks for your time. Snowing like heck up here in Saskatchewan

There are fittings and no not the PIA like those on the 2305. Drive the tractor up on some ramps or jack it up and then use jack stands. I had the hose on the grease gun could not get on the one with the small hole in bottom of frame. Changed the hose to 4" extension ,had to turn the flywheel just a little all total maybe 35 min.
