We've got a 304H Deere loader that has grease zerk that won't take grease. All 3 would take grease when we got the machine, but they were all difficult right from the get go compared to the rest of machine. All have steadily gotten worse to the point that 2 of them wouldn't take any grease. Both bucket tip pins and 1 lift cylinder pin.
I tried one of those grease joint rejuvenating tools that you fill with oil and tap with a hammer. Didn't seen to do anything for the 2 that stopped taking grease, but it did help open one of tbe bucket tip pins to accept grease better. The lift cylinder pin I drove out, cleaned and drove back in and that fixed it.
My question is for the other bucket tip pin. This machine has a JRB quick coupler where the bottom pins are integrated in with the quick connect hydraulic coupler. How do you rejuvenate this grease joint? I can't just knock the pin out like the rest and the tool had no effect on it. Thoughts?
