Where's this Grease Fitting?

Re: Where\'s this Grease Fitting?

Please don't tell me that you waited 50 hours to grease your tractor for the first time.

I can't place that last zerc. I don't recognize it. I'm guessing it is up under the dash above the clutch pedal since you can see the smaller power steering hose.

I have gone through several tubes of grease in my 200 hours.

Re: Where\'s this Grease Fitting?

That looks like it's on the front end steering.
This is not correct

 What I'm interested in finding is the one to the left of the differential when viewed from the rear as shown in the manual. Can't find it. Could only find 2 on the rear of the machine - 3ph lift arm linkage and right arm leveling crank.

Those are the only two I have found also.

Sure enought, the clutch and brake zerks are a little tought to reach. 

The picture is of the grease fittings tied into the brake linkages. There is one on either side of the tractor. With the FEL mounting brackets there is only about an inch clearance for these two zerks. I think the grease fitting you referred to as the clutch fitting is actually the grease fitting for the brake linkage on the left side. I've found a right angle grease coupler gives easy access to these two grease fitting.

In the picture you'll see the grease fitting tucked in behind the FEL mounting bracket, just about centered in the picture. One grease fitting on the left, the other (not pictured) on the right side.

Nope, but it appears I may have miised a few.

Question #4.

Who can tell where this grease fitting is located?

Don

Incidentally...the owners manual calls for greasing every 50 hours.

Re: Where\'s this Grease Fitting?

I greased all that I could find on the tractor frame after just a few hours of use. I greased those on the loader and backhoe about every 10 hours or so. But, those on the tractor frame really didn't need much in the first 50 because about 30 or so of those hours were spent sitting still on the backhoe. Only a little steering, wheeling, or 3ph work going on in the break-in period.

That third zerk sure has me stumped - just worried I'm missing something here. I hope the manual is in error. Could it be unique to HST's????

Front right steering ram. Every 50 hours? Wow, I hit these ones every other day. I do a lot of steering and these joints are down low.

For tractor lubrication that is correct, but the loader manual recommends lubrication every 8 hours of operation.

Good find! I looked in the KL130 manual that I have...it states every 10 hours. The 4 fittings behind the bucket need greasing the most. The dirt seems to just suck the grease dry...

HB, Front right steering arm is correct.

Question #5

This should be an easy one to identify the location.
