Grease Fitting and Oil Point Lubrication
Lubricate the grease ttings and oil points after ev-
ery 25 hours of operation. Lubricate more often
when operating in dusty or dirty conditions. Use
SAE general purpose lithium or molybdenum base
grease for grease ttings and light machine oil
(SAE 10) to lubricate oil points. Lubricate the
locations shown in the Chassis and Deck
Lubrication Points illustration.
NOTE: PTO universal joints (on the deck and trac-
tor) require routine lubrication after every 25
hours of running time. Remove tractor PTO quick
disconnect tube assembly for easy access to
grease ttings.
NOTE: The best way to lubricate the PTO tube half
of the universal joint assembly is to remove it from
the tractor. See instructions for removing and install-
ing PTO quick coupler, refer to Deck Installation in
Mower Deck Installation on Tractor in the Assem
bly Instructions.
NOTE: The ball bearings on the PTO drive shaft
are sealed and do not require periodic maintenance.
