Ron S -
That was my though "Exactly" also when I did
First trunion repair after purchase of 149 back in April. Then I believe it was Matt G posted and suggested:
"I should clean ALL that grease outta there because it would collect dirt and wear out the trunion faster. That it is supposed to be dry!"
So after accident when I had to swap my damaged hydro and rear end with a parts 1250 I acquired "because of my accident" that trunion needed repaired also, needless to say I left that trunion DRY/Grease Free after repair!
Rock shaft & fork contact area may be a completely different scenario than trunion but I'm wondering if Most of the Moving metal on metal contact points under tractor should be greased at all? I guess since it is a tractor and digging around in the dirt it's whole life, kinda like a D9 dozier maybe it was engineered and designed to have specific grease points where there are zerk Fitting's and
other than those points
Thanks for the comment Ron, I'm kinda curious now!
Anyone care to comment?
EDIT: While I was typing, looks like Charlie already did.
Charlie you were supposed to wait till I got done w/ my Long Drawn out Spill before you commented, LoL
