Backhoe Bh 77 pin will not take grease

[Michael In Tennessee]

My BH92 was delivered with one pin on a stabilizer not cross-drilled. The dealer didn't notice when they set it up and I didn't notice it at the first greasing. I did figure out something was wrong at the second greasing and pulled the pin to inspect.

Warranty work being what it is, they wanted to take the tractor to the shop and do the work there. I had to convince them to just R&R the pin since it was sitting on their desk. Had to order it though. I put the bad pin back in for a week while waiting.

I was greasing my loader and I always thought it was taking grease, Loader has been it the shed for years. Here it was not drilled through the side of the pin. I had 2 that way

I've been greasing equipment for years never had a problem mixing grease of course I grease the fitting till I see the grease start to come out of the joint so if there's a problem with the mix the new grease is about 60 to 80% in that location the next time more like 5 to 100% problem Solved

My brand new BH wouldnt take grease on one of the swing pins. Turned out that K factory installed a pin without a grease slot. Grease had nowhere to go. Fixed under warranty.

Something so elementary but with a prolong affect on longevity...

Something Dealer pre delivery checklist is suppose to catch but makes one wonder how the pins passed QC?

My uncle was meticulous greasing zerks... no mater summer or winter, rain or shine... said the farm couldn't afford to be without the tractor which will soon be 75 years old...
