I just bought a '01 Century 2035 with 50C fel and was doing all the maintenance chores listed in the owners' manual and found one that seems impossible. The hydraulic cylinder for steering has three zerk fittings. one near the front and two at the back of the cylinder. The one at the front is easy enough to get to, but the two at the back seem impossible to get to with the frame for the FEL in place.

Sure, I could take the frame off, but that looks like a many hour project, and the tractor steers just fine as it is.

So, is there some magic way to access these two zerks? If not, is it worth it to ensure those grease nipples have been lubed? The tractor only has 150 hours on it and runs great, but I don't want to break it through lousy maintenance.
