What happens here

Perform routine maintenance on the heavy machinery by greasing all essential moving parts of both the Caterpillar skid steer (Cat) and the Bobcat mini excavator. Use a Milwaukee M12 grease gun to pump grease into the fittings, ensuring smooth operation and preventing premature wear. Pay close attention to all joints, pins, and pivot points. If a part (like a pin) is stuck or not moving, apply extra grease and work it in. One critical area to check is the bucket attachment on the mini excavator, where a pin was found to be seized and required immediate attention.

Goal: Ensure heavy equipment is properly lubricated for safe and efficient operation.
