Kitoi CK2610H : Are there any hidden/unmentioned grease zerks to worry about?

[mangler]

Granted, I am probably freaking out about this after reading JD 2320 driveshaft horror stories, but since the manual is a POS, I still thought I'd ask:


Are there any "hidden" greasing points on a CK2610H that I should know about? Specifically zerks that are not mentioned in the manual, driveshaft zerks, etc.?


Looks like JD is continuing the the same game with a hard to reach u-joint zerk on the recent 1025R, so i was wondering if we had the same type of maintenance requirement. Last thing I want to do is find out at 150 hrs that I never greased the driveshafts...

The OP manuals for my tractor, FEL, grapple & rear blade show ALL the grease zerks. It would be a good warm day project - look for the obscure zerks.

This would be my list of "look at" points for zerks - FEL & quick attach mechanism, outboard front axle gear box, two on the front axle pivot point, any on the pedal pivot points, front drive shaft, 3-point. PTO drive shaft and whatever implement is run by the drive shaft, in my case - grapple on the FEL.

I've noticed, lately, that at few 'colours' tractors neglect to mention one or two grease nipples (zerk) underneath the FWD/REV pedal(s).

I know that the ones on my 4105 aren't included/shown in the Owner Manual as they were added later in the model run. A couple of them were removed from the front axle, but are still shown in the Manual. Fortunately, my dealership mechanic pointed this out to me.

A recent thread dealt with a 15+yo 'orange' tractor (second owner) who's first owner didn't know about the FWD/REV nipple = pedal would not return to the 'neutral' position.

Lol I think my brother in law has the exact same problem on his 15hp kubota. Complaining it would just keep mowing forward even when he let go of the pedal. I said previous owner probably never greased the pivot...

Now that would not be the worst thing to fgorget, easy fix. More worried about the horror stories of flailing broken main driveshaft wreaking havoc for $$$$ repairs.

Is there a good source available for the CK2610 shop manual?

I have a 3510se, which is pretty much the same tractor in general. Just talking about the tractor iteself (no loader or backhoe), the ones in my book are the 2 on the front axle, the 3pt hitch arms, and it shows one for a clutch pedal (my tractor doesn't have a clutch).

I've looked a few times, but haven't found any others, surprisingly none on the fwd/rev pedals.

There is also one on the 3 pt hitch position control. It is tucked up under the area where the control lever comes down through, kind of behind the tire.

Front axle pivot. Which reminds me I've got to replace that zerk on my NX: won't take grease; tried to make it confess but it wouldn't.

Good catch. I always forget about that one. It's not even remotely close to the picture in the manual. The only way to get to it is underneath the tractor, from in front of the rear wheel. I don't know if it's different on my SE vs the standard equipped versions.
