soon to be
As I stated before I am very ridged on maintenance. I will be taking delivery of a NEW LS XR4145HC with FEL and HOE

What are you guys using for grease?
What do the manuals Recommend?

I Was thinking a GOOD Moly based for the loader, or something like the John Deere Polyurea etc.

Since LS does not to my knowledge have a grease or lubricant line.....

I am planning on a lot of snow removal with the loader, and will plan a pump or 2 in loader fittings after snow removal as water + Steel = RUST

Congrats on the new tractor. I have an XJ2025H TLB and my owners manual calls for NLGI 2 grease. Below is what I use on my tractor. If you have an air compressor I recommend the air operated grease gun, it makes the task a lot easier.

I ordered the grease and grease gun from amazon. Order the grease in at least the ten tube case at a time. I use about 3/4 of a tube of grease each time do a full grease (FEL and BH). I believe the recommendation from LS is to grease them after tens hours of use.

Heck, I just use whatever heavy duty grease they sell at Tractor Supply...didnt think to give it much more thought than that.

At the end of the day none of those bushings/fitting move hard or fast enough to build up any major heat...I think just squeezing a little in frequently is probably more important than exactly what type you use.

The stuff Im squeezing in there is red and sticky enough it doesnt just drip out as Im pushing it in...not sure how much that helps?
