Greasing front axle pivot pin problem

[GBJeffOH]

That was in post #8. There is no seal to blow out, and the grease just fills up the shield around the front propeller shaft( not torque tube). If even more grease is added, it will start filling the clutch housing, which could hold several cases of grease.

If the OP really is curious if he is pumping grease, all he needs to do is slide back the front section of the propeller cover. It will tell the tale quickly and accurately.

I have a L4060 HSTC. I bought used with 107 hours on it. He said he greased it every time he used it. It had gobs of grease everywhere.

I had the starter off and there is grease up there. I guess it will not hurt anything.

I get a huge laugh out of the made up names of parts on here!

Is their a seal to keep grease out of the Propeller Shaft tube?

Some models do have a seal, but if you grease it too much it just pushes past the seal anyways.
But no, you don't have a seal on your model.

WOW that's a lot of grease, to go all the way from the front axle to the bellhousing!
