Lubricating MFWD U-Joints

Use John Deere SD Polyurea grease or other grease as specified in Fuel, Lubricants and Coolant section.

Apply grease to both U-joints, using fitting (A).

Drilled passages in the cross allow grease to reach all four bearings from a single grease fitting.

For normal operations, outboard U-joints are sealed and not equipped with grease fittings. For extremely wet conditions:

1. Replace plugs (A) with M10 thread 90° grease fittings, part number 58M5580.
2. Lubricate U-joints daily or every 10 hours.
3. Replace grease fitting with plug and tighten to torque specification.
