Grease fittings

[skeets]

OK I must admit I have been some what remiss in my liberal application of lubrication to moving parts on my little tractor. And right now I am in a bit of a quandary. As much as I have been over under and around my tractor I can only find one grease fitting and that's for the foot pedals right under the deck. As many moving parts as there are, where are all the zerberts???? Maybe they don't need greased, or maybe they aint there, or maybe Im blind,, So if any one knows about any other points of lubrication for my 2360 please tell me,,,,,,

Good to hear that you're interested in proper maintenance. Wouldn't your operator's manual indicate such locations?

One for clutch, one for brake and one for forward/reverse on my B3200. Manual doesn't indicate all of them in my case

+1 on the owner's manual.

Obviously, the tractor doesn't have a FEL. Lots and lots of Zerks there.

On the BX, check just inside the front wheels on top of the steering knuckle, also check near the center of the front axle (where the front axle pivots up and down).

Another place is around the 3PH. Anywhere there is a large pin holding things together or having things hang off of it is a good candidate for a Zerk. Sometimes the 3PH vertical lift arms have a screw adjustment on one of the arms. Some models have a Zerk in the middle of the adjustable arm.

Crawl underneath the floorboard and check the pivot points of all of the pedals. (Oops...you found those.)

That should get you started.

There is only one grease fitting on the BX 50 and 60 series tractors, the one you found on the HST pedal pivot. The front axle pivot pin goes through the housing where there is oil so it is lubed by the front axle oil. All the rest of the linkages are just designed to wear out!

Skeets -

I located a bunch of the grease fittings on mine by looking at the parts manual. It is a little tedious to go through each page looking for "nipple, grease" but it does work. I used the part number search function on your tractor model's parts list and found ONE grease nipple and it was on the speed control pedal (used the part number 67211-42940 since you said there was a grease nipple on the pedal I looked there first for the number). Leads me to think you only have one, but why not one on the brake pedal?

Doing a similar PART NUMBER (06613-10675) search on my model (L185F) and found several in various locations.

What was interesting is that on my top link there is a grease nipple but on yours there is a PLUG.

I do highly recommend putting grease on the top link threads and also the 3PH angle adjustment link, the sway adjusters on the lower arms...

Mine were pretty rusted together when I got my tractor since they had not been greased.

I also found some fittings on my tractor encrusted in grease and dirt and had been painted over and looked something like a cast iron "bump" until they were scraped off.

Thanks Russell,, I never thought of going that route, my owners manual only shows on under the pan for the pedals.

Not much on the tractor itself, but seven or eight on the MMM.
