Overview
A how-to rundown covering 12 specific greasing basics: what a Zerk fitting is and how it works, grease as oil-in-thickener, cleaning fittings before greasing, reading intervals by component, knowing when you're done, one-handed greasing options, spotting unpainted or paint-capped zerks on new tractors, and reading grease residue when buying used. Practical depth for true beginners; experienced owners will likely know most of it already.
