Backhoe John Deere 110 TLB Main Backhoe Bucket Pivot Pin - How do you remove these?

   / John Deere 110 TLB Main Backhoe Bucket Pivot Pin - How do you remove these? #31  
I went ahead and ordered a DeWalt gun and a LockNLube tip, along with their grease buster. I'm hopeful that between those three I'll also be able to "crush through those tight sticky pins."

Anybody have strong feelings on grease? I always buy graphite grease from Harbor Freight and it seems to last just as long as anything else I've tried. Seems to me that the trick is to grease often and that the brand doesn't matter so much.

I agree!
Grease brand does not matter nearly as much as frequency.

My DeWalt grease gun arrived last week, and I'm impressed. I'd just cleaned up my stuck zerk fittings, so no need to power through a clogged one, but the gun seems to be high-quality and it's easy to use. I added a Locknlube fitting, and I like that too.

BUT.... to get back to the subject: I wonder if the OP ever got his pin unstuck......

I would agree with that. Although there is a guy on YouTube(Project Farm), this guy does some really interesting research. One of his videos shows the differences in greases and surprisingly enough there is a difference. Now at what price is it worth it? That is the question. I think most wear and failures are from lack of maintenance anyway so grease and grease often.

I was going to buy the "LockNlube but was afraid the setup would be to **** long. Do you have a opinion yet? The stock one from DeWalt seems to hold pretty well so far but I like the idea of the LockNlube.

The Lock-N-Lube is a very worthwhile device.
Does not add much length
