Lubricating Heavy-Duty Gudgeon Bearings-If Equipped

IMPORTANT: DO NOT over lubricate the tapered roller bearings. Doing so may result in damage to the inner grease retention seal or bearing and drive shaft.

Only use a hand pump grease gun to lubricate gudgeon bearings.

Other types of grease guns fill the grease cavity at a greater speed which may push retention seal out of position allowing grease to enter gudgeon center cavity and leaves bearing without proper lubrication.

Lubricate heavy-duty gudgeon tapered roller bearing fittings (A) on both left and right hand side and on top of gudgeon. Give each fitting approximately 40 pumps of grease.

Grease every 250 hours with John Deere HD Grease as specified in Fuels, Lubricants and Coolant Section.
