New B2601 HSD - Trteadle is very hard to push

"Fluid Film" looks to be one of the more popular lanolin based lubricants in the US/North America.

I use "Lanox", a readily available Aussie/Downunder product.

What? You moved from a PowerTrac to a Kubota?

Whisper: (Hope Mossroad does not see this post...:laughing: )

I have been putting off notifying Moss and the folks on the Power Trac forum about moving on to Kubota.... They are a very helpful folks and great to chat with. They just wont believe it... One of them bought my PT 425 and attachments. The issue with PTs is that there is no dealer network support and I think I needed that after a few close calls on the PT 425.

Folks,

Thanks for all the suggestions. This week I will be greasing all the fittings and looking at how to lubricate the treadle linkage. Also just acquired a larger torgue wrench so I will be checking all the lugs and nuts...

I added a grease fitting and bent the back of the pedal up a half inch or so. Day and night difference.
