Dad said the 2 row Minneapolis Moline corn picker he used had 103 zerks. How could a 2 row picker have that many bearings?
The old dinosaur 635 Deere corn head I used to run had two pump lubers that lubed 24 stalk roll bearings through little 1/8 inch plastic lines, same as the plastic line going to an oil pressure gauge. Once in awhile a cornstalk would rip a line away from a lower bearing and it didn t take long till the needle bearing was gone. I finally threw away the lubers and tubes and screwed zerks into the lower twelve bearings. The upper twelve bearings were not accessable so i ran a grease gun hose extension out from the bearing to a zerk I could shoot standing behind the head. I got under the head and rolled around in the corn stalls greasing the lower bearings twice a day but by golly there was no more bearing replacement needed.
