LUBRICATE GREASE FITTINGS: Your tractor
has 7 grease fittings which should be lubricated every 25
hours with multi-purpose lithium base gun grease. Wipe the
fitting clean and lubricate each one with five shots of grease,
or until the grease is seen being forced from the bearing.
When operating under extremely wet or dusty conditions,
lubricate more often. The grease fittings are located as fol¬

wet or dusty operating conditions, place a few drops of SAE
30 engine oil on the pivot points, being careful not to get
oil on belts or pulleys as it may causa them to slip. Pivot
