John Deere 5100E squeaking

[jd5100E]

After putting 10 hours on my 5100E, it has developed a rather loud squeak noise when going over rough ground. Ive been able to pinpoint the noise down to the air seat. Im going to contact my dealer tomorrow about it but was wondering if anyone had ran across a similar noise with their air seat. Other than the noise I am very happy with the tractor, seems to be a big improvement over the older E series.

Some air seats have grease fittings.

The dealer sent a service tech out yesterday, he applied some grease to a couple of joints on the seat, we carried it out and squeak is gone. Very happy with the service, he drove over an hour one way for a simple fix, told me to call him if I had any more issues.

I drive a big rig for a living and have to add a few squirts now and then. Drives me nutty
