Left lift arm grease fitting

   / Left lift arm grease fitting #11  
Yeah, but the fitting ("A" in the pic) is on the barrel, not where it pivots.

I'll venture those barrels (for the lift links) are manufactured so they can be used on either side during final assembly...nothing that would effect the end user (operator). The handles for the adjustable side are probably welded on downstream in the manufacturing process.
Strictly guessing though.

I recalled this thread while I was greasing my Deere 4400. My left link has a grease fitting too (which surprised me as it isn't the adjustable link).

Are you positive it is not adjustable? My 4300 has an adjustable left link with the zerk on the lower buckle clevis (part 30) that can be turned on threaded part 28.

But then, there is a replacement link listed that does look like the picture posted by the OP, that shows both left lift links. Don't see threads on that replacement link 35B. The 35B replacement looks heavier duty than the 35A that I have.

You need to read that post again...I wrote the it wasn't the adjustable link (which is on the right side), not that it wasn't adjustable.
No handle on that left link...didn't pay enough attention (as I was actually out there to grease the tractor) to notice if there were any flats for a wrench. I'll look at that today, if I get a chance. The adjustable link (right side) is used for leveling an implement, as you know.
I probably should have been bit clearer when I wrote that post but it seemed pretty straightforward at the time.

I've no idea why that left link would be threaded. I'm guessing it may be used on different tractors (at different set lengths) or to adjust for the travel of the lower links (lengthening it would result in the lower link being closer to the ground, but not raise as high).
The Deere manual does show it as a location to grease, BTW.
Maybe having two links is typical on Ag and larger utility tractors (never noticed, but Deere manuals I looked at (as I write this post) do show grease fittings on both links). Both of my previous machines were "value" tractors and had a solid left lift link (no adjustability).
