How to grease "upper brake pivot tube" on John Deere 4000 series

[inaun]

I have a John Deere 4200. The manual says I'm supposed to grease the "upper brake pivot tubes" every 50 hours, but I'm not sure how to do that (sorry, newbie question). The manual does not give any instructions, nor do I see a grease fitting or any obvious way to grease what I think the maintenance schedule is referring to.

Can anybody provide details on how I am supposed to grease this?

Thanks!

Welcome to TBN

Press on the brake pedals and watch where they are connected and move such to visualize the pivot point that needs some grease. Close to that "tube" will be a grease zerk (item # 12) needing a pump or two.

Any parts that have to move will likely have a grease zerk needing an occasional pump.

Attached schematic of brake pedal (right one, single pedal) from the JD parts, see key # 12

Thanks for the link. Looks like I was looking on the wrong side (lower part of the assembly near part 28), which I can see from under the tractor. I'll look at it tonight to see if I can find how to get to the zerk on that upper part. I might need to take some pieces off to access it.

Found it! Thanks again -- that is really tucked up in there. For anybody else looking for this on a 4200 - 4400 HST, take off right side engine cover. Shine a light up toward top of brake pedal in the small open space between body and gas tank. You will see the Zerk grease fitting hanging down there.
