Re my earlier post (on the classic view) on '48 8N brake seal job. The brake rod ends came out of the trumpets unintentionally when I rotated the backing plates to clear the actuating lugs--no problem. Sure enough there's what looks like whl. brg. grease in the trumpet sockets. You said use marine grease, Would regular whl. brg. grease be OK? My N is garaged and used only on non-rainy days! Couldn't find anything in the books about these sockets. They seem to go into the trumpet, though I didn't probe too far. And how much grease to use? I"ve had the N 37 years and had no idea about these sockets. Thanks again, Dunk. Angelo

ZANE said: (quoted from post at 23:44:22 02/07/08) Non of the lift linkage outside the tractor should be greased.

If greased it will greatly increase the wear on evey moving part. The grease will catch dirt and that will act as a grinding compound.
Back when I worked at the Ford dealership and a tractor came in that had been greased on the lift linkage every place that was greased was worn good and floppy.
Believe it!

Yep!!!

Oh well, I don't grease my lift parts, but I may have greased my front axel pivot pin, and that might have been a NOT so good idea too.

Anyways...

It will still probably outlast me.

Yes, Sir, clean them sockets out a tad.

I recommended marine grease because most of these fine fellers leave their N out in the weather.

Mine stays nice and dry too, no marine grease in/on it, don't need it, it don't rain on it.

I just looked around the shop and found some good grease and put in mine.
