Lubricate Tractor Grease Points
At 2:50 in
What if FARMING Goes Wrong!
What happens here
The presenter begins by lubricating the readily accessible grease points on the mower deck, identifying approximately 12 to 13 such points. He then highlights a particularly difficult U-joint grease fitting located behind the radiator, deep within the engine compartment. He initially struggles to reach it with a standard grease gun attachment. After briefly trying to bump the engine over with the key to reposition the U-joint, he retrieves a "Lock-n-Lube" kit with an elbow accessory. This specialized attachment allows him to finally connect to the hidden fitting and successfully lubricate it, describing the process as a 'struggle bus' due to the tight access.
Goal: Ensure all moving parts of the tractor and mower deck are properly greased.
