So I was reading a deere news info magazine and found this from the Senior VP of Sale and Marketing:
"Our strong zerk ethic.
Grease zerks and the elbow grease required to fi ll them are
becoming things of the past. Our continuing quest to lower daily
operating costs has led to the development of maintenance-free
pins for many of our loaders.
A few years back we identified the need for these easy-maintenance
pins through market research. That’s right, you requested
this convenient money saver, and after more than 48,000 simulated
hours of use over four years, they’re ready to ship.
These pins will be available exclusively in John Deere fourwheel-drive loaders and are greased for life at the factory. Our
ingenious engineers have outfitted these bearings with what they
call “triple-redundant seal protection†that holds the grease in
and keeps the contaminants out.
The resulting benefits of these new cutting-edge pins are
practical, financial, and environmental. No more greasing, mess,
or the time and money typically associated with this maintenance.
When you’re ready to change out pins, replace them with these
maintenance-free pins using traditional tools.
Call your dealer for full details on these new maintenance-free
pins that were designed to make your job easier."
