From your photograph, in my opinion, far from over-greasing, you are not quite greasing enough. And the side slop of the cylinder end on the pin is normal for all tractors. Pump a little more in. Let it squish out new grease. Grease is cheap compared to pins/bushings etc. If you ever hear a squeak of any kind come from your FEL, you will know you have waited far far to long between greasing intervals. 10 hours of FEL use is the recommended time, or if you know you are going to be using your FEL all day every day, change your schedule to everyday greasing. Don't spare the grease...When greasing, if there's a bit of grease being pushed out of the bushing am I over servicing?
Also noticed the FEL hydraulic pistons are able to slide back and forth laterally over the mounting bushings. I've got about 35 hours on my new machine, is this normal wear as it breaks in?
