Last weekend I spent three days bushhogging in the woods on our farm in Missouri. Although I had a blast using the new Grand L5240 HST and getting ready for deer season, I managed to tear one of the dust covers on the tie rod. I have attached pictures for reference.
The replacement cover is about $10 so I plan to pick up two or three...I know it will happen again soon enough.
I was wondering if some of you gurus could give me some tips/tricks on replacing it. It doesn't appear that it would be terribly difficult, but I have never replaced one on a tractor so I might get a surprise.
Also, it doesn't appear that there is a grease zerk so what is the best method of putting grease in before/after I replace the dust cover?
Any special tools needed?
Thanks in advance!
