GUESS WHAT GOT HUNG UNDER THE TRACTOR!! "PREP TALK" FOR MOWING SEASON!

What happens here

Identify all grease fittings on the tractor's front loader and any attached implements, such as a grapple. These are typically located at pivot points where moving parts connect. Wipe each grease fitting clean with a rag to prevent dirt from being pushed into the bearing. Attach a grease gun to each fitting and pump 2 to 3 shots of grease into each. Ensure to find all points, including potentially hard-to-reach ones like those on the front axle articulation.

Goal: Lubricate all articulating grease points on the tractor's front loader and grapple attachment to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.

wouldn't be condescending all right now I'm not going to take you through and show you squirting grease in each grease fitting it just doesn't make any sense I will take you through and show you one grease fitting and how we do it on the front and then I'll take you and show you one on the back and how we do it there are basically a couple knuckles on the back that articulate and those are the ones we're gonna have to put grease in now here on the loader itself there are grease points in basically every moving area so there's a grease point here there's a grease point here there's grease point back here there's a grease point here and on the grapple that's what we have that's what this critter right here is called on the front and it's basically a big grabber and KFOR push and brush up and I like to put that on the tractor because I know I've got a tree down so while I'm mowing if I run into a place where a tree is down I can just push that tree back up into the woods so it's got several lubrication points and really very simple I think there's one there one there just very very simple stuff so let me show you how we grease one grease fitting real quick so this is a grease gun that I use pretty simple not too bad in a future vlog I'll show you how to load a grease gun I tell you what that was a big challenge for me when I first started working on the farm here now I have a rag and basically what I'll do is I'll take my rag and I'll wipe out my grease fittings and I'll make sure the end of this grease gun is nice and clean okay really maintenance wise on this you probably only have to lubricate it twice a year for the amount that I use it but you know it depends if it starts squeaking you definitely are running dry on oil and you need to put some oil in there so this is a grease fitting right here and you can see right in the tip there's a little ball basically what I'd call a check valve right inside there and that keeps the grease fitting from spewing grease right back out so simply enough we just take our fitting we pop it on the end there and we'll just pump a couple couple squirts of grease in there one two that's it so we're just going to go around the tractor hit all the grease fittings and there's one grease fitting that I always forget I always mess up go underneath the tractor and it's where the axle articulates in the front so I'll go under there and I'll get that one first so I don't forget it and I don't miss it because that's a very crucial…
