most all the excavating equipement in the world greases the crap out of the bucket pins that run right down in that nasty gritty dirt???? And why does the manufacturer tell you to grease the crap out of the telescoping sections of your PTO driveshafts that are whirling away in that dusty dirt devil your 3PT mower churns up???? And yeah - I know what the 1940 N Owner's Manual says...

I'm with you. Ive had a LOT of tractors through here over the last dozen or more years. The ones that the owner oiled up the front axle pin regularly or added a zerk and greased it are always in excellent condition. Same with the radius rod socket and the brake cam rod socket in the axle trumpet. Severe wear and rust in the dry ones, no wear in the oiled/greased ones. In my opinion, leaving the front axle pin and bushing dry is a big mistake. I grease 'em. Others obviously have different ideas.

John, on the axles you saw that added a zerk where did they place it? I just thought I"d drill straight down through the axle into the bushing but was concerned about weakening the axle even though it would only be an 1/8 to 3/16 hole. The way I see it as soon as the axle pin moves in the bushing it"s going to become polished and it"s bare metal. Where bare metal is rust can form and I live in South Georgia where there is plenty of humidity to cause rust.

Still appreciate y"alls input,

Pete

Usually a zerk right on top in the center of the pin hole. Some of the 9N-2N axles seem to already have a hole there. Also have had a few solid pins with zerks in them, right in the front.
