A couple things I noticed underneath my GC1710

My 1710 is a 2015 and my manual does not show those 3ph pivot zerks.....

Same here with my 2015 1710

My 2017 GC 1715 manual does not show them either... That is why the edit of manual page... By the way they are on outside of sub frame rails...

Well, I got the stupid zerk on 3ph thing is all sorted out: Fix for inaccessible zerks on the GC17xx series tractors. - YouTube

Also Dale, I hit that zerk on the brake pivot, and whatta ya know, I thought I heard less hydro whine when pressing forward pedal! Maybe the brake was binding a little after all.

Thanks for the video and tip, out of curiosity did you try to use a grease needle on those or did you just go to the new zerk?

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:

The hassle is the part I was wondering about, using the grease needle is not the hard part but the approachability of the zerk with the needle was what I was looking at, I am going to look into a few zerk adapters like those 45* ones and put some in my tool kit for that just in case moment, I have never seen a 45* zerk you can take apart like that normally the ones I have seen are solid 30* or 45*.

The same here, which is why I suggested the 'extension'.

Guys, don't you have that zerk there? Just look down there and see how you'd grease it as is. Alls I could say is, that zerk that massey ferguson put there in that spot, it was blatantly an afterthought. No, it would not be easy hitting it with a needle. Yeh, there are a couple things I noticed on this tractor that are a little bit afterthoughty.
