I did my 50 hour on Saturday. No problems except the dealer gave me 2 out of 3 filters for a CK20 vice CK25. That cost me a 3 hour round trip. I also had a zerk fitting pop out of the loader when I lubed it. I couldn't find a match it at the local auto stores or TSC. Anyone know what size they are?

I'm looking for a supplier of zerk fitting caps. I like to use them to keep the dirt off of the zerks, especially underneath and by the bucket. I have some, but can't find anyone who sells them anymore. Anybody know of a source?

I found a solution for a "too tall" roll bar/canopy that didn't entail cutting a section out of the roll barr and rewelding it. I rotated the canopy mounting bracket to the bottom of the roll bar and remounted it. I then cut a long strip out of the canopy so it would fit down over the roll bar to sit on the lowered mounts. It isn't completely waterproof any more, but I don't use it for rain anyhow, only sun shade. I can now (barely) get under my 8 foot roll up door.

I bought this kit from Northern Tool when I had a rock tumble down the pile and crush a grease fitting on my outrigger. It's nice to have extras just in case. I don't remember the size, I think it was 1/4", I just kept trying until I found one.

Also, I picked up this air-powered grease gun from sears for less than $30 and it makes greasing up all those fittngs a ton easier and with more force it will pack the grease better.

My local hardware store carries those rubber caps, but they are one size fits all and only stay on for about 1 week.

I'm pretty sure they are metric

I agree about the pneumatic grease gun. I got one on sale for $12 at the local harbor freight store. I had always thought they were an unessary luxury - not anymore. I can get the loader and tractor in a couple of minutes flat. Unfortunately I was using it when the zerk came out. I am going to get a zerk assortment also from HF aslo - wish I'd done it when I was there last time!

Tks for the replies
