Hello All:

The pin in the center of the tractor connected to the steering calendar does not receive grease through the zerk

Sorry for asking a simple question, but wanted to ask the experts.

Remove zerk and dig dried dirt/grease out completely.Try zerk by itself in gun nozzle. It may need probed with a wire or replaced. This usually allows it to take grease but not always. If things are so tightly sealed around pin/bore with dried grease/dirt it may not. May have to disassemble to fix it.

He's talking about the power steering cylinder.

Darn autocorrect!

I'll take it off or replace it.

Thank you for the help.
