Hi my name is Hammick and I'm an over-greaser

You might want to attend An OGA meeting. I think they are held at TSC on Thursdays

I typically pump it in until I see new clean grease coming out one point or another. I like to wipe away excess blobs that seem to just collect dirt and grime also. It helps to keep the tractor neater looking and less likely to get greasy with everything you touch.

I have been using Lucas X-tra heavy duty grease for construction equipment, farm tractors, etc. It seems to work well in heat, cold, water etc. Green is good!!

Keep your loader pins greased. You don't want to know about replacing wallowed out bushings and new pins. Most all smaller loaders will have steel pins and bushings and lack of grease will quickly oval the bushings. Just did the loader on my second hand 2002 M9. If I didn't have the machine tools to line bore the old bushings and then weld in new ones, it would have been super expensive. As it was, I had to completely take the loader apart to do it.

One pin on the left lift cylinder was dry It would slide side to side but thankfully had no radial play.
Some how I had never greased that zerk because of its angle it was difficult to get the grease gun to stay attached[no locknlube].
I did manage to pump it full which tightened it right up.

You were lucky to catch it when you did.

Better an "overgreaser" than an "undergreaser" I say.

Okay Greasers... a couple questions.

1. Do you run the tractor and operate the moving parts during greasing to help it come out of both sides?

2. Do you pull the pins ever to see if you can... and check that they are in good shape?

I'm not ready to admit I have a greasing problem.

One quick note on lawnmower spindles. The bearings are sealed on both sides and do not get any grease when you grease the spindles. You are on;y filling the cavity with grease. If you want to grease the bearings, remove the inner plastic seal on both top and bottom bearing to allow grease to get in.

I just grease it till I see it coming out and leave the extra grease , Then it falls off in the driveway I step on it and track it everywhere.........
