How to Grease the Toughest Zerks on your Tractor to Prevent a Costly Failure

Overview

Focused entirely on one overlooked maintenance task: greasing the hard-to-reach front axle pivot zerk on a Mahindra 4550 (and most 4WD tractors). The key practical tip, raise the loader to unload the front axle before greasing so grease reaches the wear surface, is demonstrated hands-on from the ground. Also covers grease gun canister swaps. Best for new tractor owners who haven't tackled undercarriage maintenance.
