M8540 hyd shuttle cable

[big bubba]

for those MXX40 hyd shuttle owners. had my hyd shuttle cable replaced around 600 hrs due to sticking & not being able to fully engage forward/reverse motion.

currently 825 hrs, no prob. access to cable is complicated (dropping fuel tank, ect) & had dealer do it. anyone out there have any advice on how to access the cable for lube on either end? sure wish the cable had a oil nipple or zerk to lubricate. the tractor is covered most of the time. think the answer is no, but thought i'd ask anyway, regards

Motion Pro makes and sells a dandy cable luber and they are really cheap too.

Basically, it's an aluminum outer body with a rubber inside body and you clamp it on the end of the cable and use motorcycle chain lube in a pressurized can (with the straw) to inject it into the cable. I use it on a lot of different cables as one size fits all. Works on tach cables too.
