My new big toy

[Tcasteel]

I just bought a John Deere 4210 with a 300 front loader and a 47 backhoe. Poor thing has been treated badly as the first thing I noticed was no grease on any fitting. Unit has 1250 hours on it. Changed engine oil and filter and lubed it and now looks like a greased tractor. This site looks like a good place for repair info from the threads I saw before joining. I am an HVAC mechanic by trade so repair and maintenance is my passion.

Since you mentioned greasing it, click on these links: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/oil-fuel-lubricants/304889-locknlube-cupler-grease-gun.html and http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/307933-review-locknlube-grease-gun-coupler.html

I have one on a lever gun with a hose, I think that is the best combination.


LocknLube grease gun coupler ends greasing frustration.
