Maintenance On My FarmPro 2420

Also one more quick question I know I am going to sound like an idiot but what is the injection pump you are talking about thanks again.

It's the high pressure pump that pushes fuel to/through the fuel injectors. Find the rigid fuel lines on one side of your engine, running from the lower side of the valve cover - down to an unpainted gear driven device hanging off the side of the engine. That little device is the injection pump.

Here is some good info (with pics) from the guys at ctoa. It shows for a 224, I do not know how close it is to yours, but for servicing my 224 it was VERY valuable. It shows locations of drain plugs, how to bleed the injectors tons of great stuff.

Any old-fashioned calcium-based grease will do.

Calcium-based greases are said to stand up well to salt water, so a logical extension might be that your marine grease is compatible. I'd still read the label though. See if it says something like calcium sulfonate complex on the label.

If you see lithium on it anywhere though, you'd best refer to this http://http://www.mindconnection.com/library/handyman/greasecompat.htm compatibility chart. Start with the fact that the factory grease in your tractor is a calcium-based compound, then select a compatible grease type from the chart.
