A couple things I noticed underneath my GC1710

GeneV, my tractor is at my other property so unfortunately I can not run out and look I need to do it when I go out there to do things but with age comes the forgetfulness and even if I write something down it is not a guarantee that I will remember the paper I wrote it down on hahaha.
If this rain ever stops and I get a chance to put my deck back on I will check it out hopefully.

Lol no worries Jim, my memory is shot as well, even though I'm still a kid... trapped in a 47 y/o body.

As a pain as it was, I replaced the zerks with angled ones. What i noticed though, the right one ( as if you sitting in the seat ) should be lubricated as it does move slightly on the shaft. The left however is solid and from what i seen, needs no lube.

There is a solid shaft that raises/lowers MMM deck (or "other" mid mount implement) that pivots in those two collars with the offending ZERKS...

Can not wait to get out today and try it for the first time, I will have before and after pics to come.

P.S some pics are upside down but when tapped on show up normal, pics are taken the same way but just download goofy.

Imold, would you be able to get at it as is with a grease needle? Maybe. Would it be a hassle? Most definitely. With all them zerks to hit on the tractor, I'll take easy peasy lemon squeezy. :cool2:

I also found those zerks recently against the frame for the brake pedal. I was able to get a lock n lube onto it and grease moving through. I meant to post on here about the secret grease zero but never got around to it
