L2500 2WD front end lube ...

[tdwinklr]

The manual keeps saying there is a place to lube the front axle pivot on this tractor.
It is NOT 4WD but rather is 2WD, yet there isn't a Zerk fitting anywhere on the pivot itself.

Anyone out there know for sure where to lube this, or is it sealed?


thank you

I don't have access to an L2500 manual, but the construction seems to be the same as the L2501. The Op Man indicates that there's a zerk on each support, front and back. Is there a zerk or an opening to install zerks? The parts diagram shows a plugged opening on the back end of the support shaft. Maybe it's drilled and cross drilled to lube both support bushings from one point?

I can't see or feel anything at those points, and I've looked several times.

How about back here? Pull that plug and stick a wire in there to see if it's drilled to the front bushing. I'd be inclined to slowly pump a little in there and see where it comes out. Take it easy, there may be seals.

Could be, I know where that is. Will give it try.

Thanks!
