Can't Find Zerk Grease Fitting at Base of CB05 Backhoe Boom

[Jonathan40]

I recently went to grease my newly-acquired GC1710, and was unable to find a zerk grease fitting at the base of the CB05 backhoe boom (see pics). I reached all the way around with my fingers and found nothing. Anyone know how to grease the collar for this pin? The manual hasn't shed any light on how to do so.

Did you at the other end of the pins or shafts for grease fitting there?

Yes, I did a full inspection of the entire area. No fittings...quite odd.

Never mind, I found it. The zerk had fallen out, and the threaded hole was covered in a glob of grease.

Been there.
