JD 3120 TLB w/447 backhoe. The pivot pin between the boom & stick wouldn't take grease.
Baby John is new to me and the first few times I greased her I missed that zerk as it's pretty well hidden. Found it last time and it wouldn't take grease (pneumatic grease gun). Replaced the zerk and it still wouldn't take grease. OK, figured the pin was somehow trashed, ordered a new one and installed it this morning. Old pin was dry & a bit rusty but not damaged at all and it cleaned up perfectly so I have a spare, for all the good it's doing me -
Still won't take grease. WTF?
