I've said it before, and I'll say it again; I don't build 'em, I just work on 'em. I'm with AtlasRob, the pin for connection of links to bucket coupler should have a spacer between the links. That's like; well duhhh! And I mean that to the manufacturer, which goes back to my "I don't build 'em" reference. Same as the links, they should have a grease fitting in them at the attachment to the bucket coupler pin, but from what I see (with limited photo views), what good would they do, since I dont see any "pin retainers" that prevent the pin from rotating in the pin bosses of the bucket coupler. It's hard to tell just by looking at a photo, but it sure looks like the pin boss is worn in the bucket coupler from the pin rotating, and I doubt there's a bushing in those pin bosses. If that's so, very poor design. As for the loader bucket pin not taking grease; Joeeye, is this your own machine? If it is, knock the pin out for Pete's sake! Fix the darn thing! Usually what happens is the bushing has a hole in it to allow grease to enter the pin area, but it's not always in alignment with the grease fitting hole. All it take is a small amount of dirt to clog that hole and no amount of pressure from a grease gun or any other tool will knock that dirt out while the pin is installed. Get the pin out, clean the dirt from the hole with a pick, then try to clear the hole with a grease gun. If that doesn't work, press the bushing out, clean everything, and start over. And always do this, apply Never Seize to any pin and pin boss you take apart from that machine. The manufacturer does not do this because it's not part of the assembly line concept of put the machine together and move it down the line. But now that you are the owner of the machine, Never Seize any pin connection you take apart. Now, why are you putting off fixing that steering pin?
