Now that I have a whopping 30 hours under my belt on my used (1300 hours) B2150 with LA 350 loader vowed to find all of the loader grease fittings and lube the heck out of them. A few questions came up:
How do you know when enough is enough? I notice that as I keep pumping, more grease comes out of one area of the joint than another. Should I be looking for uniform overflow? There are two fittings at the operator end of the loader one each on the right and left side up high. There is a hole in the loader frame to access them. When I tried to pump grease into them they appear to be plugged! Worse yet the grease gun got stuck on the fitting and would not come off! Had to raise and lower the loader while pulling hard to get if off. Is the fitting plugged, or is could the joint be plugged with old dried grease?
Since it looks like I might have to remove the loader to really get at the grease fitting I wonder if anyone has found an easier way to unplug the fitting/lube point?
