Has anyone figured out how to grease the steering gear fitting on a GT2000.
I want to love this tractor but MTD/Cub Cadet made it even harder to work on than the previous model.
I do not believe unscrewing 4 bolt of two different sizes is better than the old way - of spring loaded hand operated fasteners - so that one can almost get the grease gun nozzle on a short poorly placed fitting and then squirting grease everywhere but into the innards.
I did leave one of the plastic to plastic bolts out - to inconvenient to get back in.
Maybe we can talk Honda into buying MTD and then reengineering so that little things like this wouldn't make us sorry that MTD /Cub Cadet just doesn't get it...........
Does anyone make a long but properly threaded grease fitting that would solve the problem.
There has got to be a better way.
