2538 how many grease zerks ?

If you use a flexible hose on the gun, you have to anyway. I used to use a rigid tube end on my gun but found the flexible hose style to work better, especially when using the air powered gun. One hand on the trigger and the other attaching/detaching the L&L.

That's what I figured.

I took it that the lock n lube was a one handed affair. One hand on the gun, the other on the tip. Does it hold for clogged zerks?

I use it on a rigid tube. Still need to release one hand to open the "latch" to attach and then again to release it. Still very much worth it. Only takes a second. Most clogged zerks clear without special effort. I still occasionally have to remove zerks for cleaning or replacement.

So it looks like a L&L with the power gun would be a killer combination.

I have a power gun but frankly I prefer my lever action Lincoln with rigid tube and lock'n lube. The power gun is a bit heavy for one hand and you need to deal with the snake using the other hand. Power lube only takes a couple seconds per zerk so you are essentially using it with one hand.

that's my feeling.

One on each front axle, one in front and behind the steering pinion, two at the forward reverse pedals and one on the brake pedal.
If someone finds more please let me know

Aren't there any on the 3PT (I've never greased a Mahindra but my Kioti has all the ones you mentioned plus the 3PT).

Hmmm - didn't check, manual doesn't show them but it's pretty much useless, i'll have to check.
Thanks

If the Mahindra is set up like the Kioti, then the 3PT arms are attached to a linking rod (not sure what it is really called) so they move together. That "rod" has some bearing surfaces and at least on my tractor has a zerk to lubricate it.
