LA402 lube

[Anonymous Poster]

I've had trouble getting one of the grease points on my LA402 loader to take lube. 11 of them take grease easily, but that 12th was a struggle. Finally, a few days ago, I got brave, and decided to fix it. I remove the pivot bolt, and tapped the pivot out far enough to grip it with a pliers (with jaw protectors), and rotated it 180 degrees. After putting it back together, it takes grease real good now. I don't know if there is a grease groove on the pivots..I didn't take it all the way out, but I suspect there must be. Also, I noticed that several of the pivot retaining bolts were quite loose..even with the nylon insert lock nuts installed. I tightened all of them, and will add that to my checklist on each 50hr maintaince. Those bolts/nuts are a uncommon size..11MM socket and wrench fit exactly.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I just got my B2910 w/ 402 Loader. That is a good thing to know. Let you know if I have that problem.
