DRIVELINES
Grease Schedule
Grease should meet the following recommendations:
-Type of Grease: A good quality NLGI #2 EP
grease, lithium soap base should be used. For
heavy duty applications a compatible grease with 3
to 5% molybdenumdisulfide additive may be used.
IMPORTANT: Before attaching the driveline, clean
and grease the tractor PTO and the Implement
shaft.
Telescoping Tubes - 8-10 pumps every 8 hours. The grease fitting will become exposed when the wings are
laying flat. Occasionally (monthly) pull the universal joint halves apart and apply grease to all sides of the shaft.
At least once per year (more often in dusty or dirty conditions) the shielding should be removed and the old
grease wiped from the shaft. Do not use an alcohol or acid based solvent to remove the grease. A fresh coat of
grease should be applied to the entire surface of the inner tube.
If the universal joint sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where two halves
can-not slip freely, damage to the rotary cutter or tractor may occur.
Cross Journals - 2-3 pumps every 8 hours
Lubricate until grease purges from underneath all four needle bearing caps.
Shield Retaining Bearings - 2-3 pumps every 8 hours
Check that the driveline shielding is not damaged and rotates freely on the driveline.
If sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where the two halves cannot slip
freely, damage to the rotary cutter or tractor may occur.
