Must have been a great 2 days! It would be for ME!
I have a very good friend with a LOT of experience at it who says you don't have to lube every day. He lubes every time he refuels, and is getting the same wear as the guys who do it every day.
When he lubes, he puts the shaft in a odd position. For an FEL, the bottom of the shaft is usually on the bottom. So, use the hydraulics and lift the shaft before lubing. Same everywhere, move the shaft to the other side and lube as normal. Makes sense to me, but I'm an engineer, so it COULD be crap. Thing is, I've seen his implements when removed and they are in great shape.
So, it wither works or he is having some extraordinary luck with it.
Happy Kioti to YOU, sir, and good luck!
In a year, you'll be an expert or will have replaced a LOT of parts. Maybe both. Ha!
