Bucket Pivot Won't Take Grease

   / Bucket Pivot Won't Take Grease #11  
I have one zerk that WILL NOT take grease while the FEL/grapple is in the resting position. It's a PITA. I start the tractor - raise the FEL slightly - rotate the grapple slightly - Whala - the zerk works fine now.
I have to do the same thing on mine

You aren't hurting anything by cutting a lengthwise groove the same dimensions as the circular groove already there. I'd do it in a heart beat and then work the bucket to maxes and install more grease till you have had at least 2-3 of good pumps in there. Expect it to squirt out the ends which is usually my stopping point but for you I'd disregard it, getting a good layer of grease around the interface.

I had a 310G Deere loader pin that I took out and cleaned. I greased the length of ot by hand and put back. It still wouldn't take grease. Not my backhoe, but before this, it had not had grease in a long time.

Have you taken the pin out and cleaned the pin and opening then replace pin and see if you can grease??
Also see if zerk is ok pump some grease in it

I bought a HF zerk clearing tool. You load it with ATF and hit it with a hammer to break through any solid grease packed fitting. My help somebody reading this that has a similar unrelated problem with a frozen zerk.
Sorry, but what is ATF? Automatic transmission fluid...? I've tried this procedure with penetrating oil to no avail.
