Grading 2555 Died & Won't Start

[RNeumann]

As a fellow Mahindra owner who is happy with my machine I do have one question. WTF is up with a grease fitting on the timing gear? Even my 1963 straight 6 Nova wagon used engine oil to lubricate the timing gear bearings!
Hope it's an easy fix and the parts are readily available.hope you can snap a photo of the zerk and share that with everyone on here- I'm sure other folks will want to know about that one!

I just found that fitting last week. Greased for the first time after 170hrs. How often do the recommend it get done?

I have the 33/38 HP motor and find nothing in the manual. I'll have to look to see if I've got a zerk up there.

Iv never actually seen one fail though so I wouldn't beat yourself up about it... it was covered under warranty meaning they prolly found something flaw from factory. Its not one to load up with grease a lot and as reagular as a loader or linkage fitting.... just hit it with a few shots when you do regular maintenance maybe once a month
