BX23 Greese fitting

Before I call the dealer, I thought I would ask the forum. The pin located on the bottom of the FEL bucket cylinder does not have a greese fitting. The other 2 bucket pins have the fitting recessed on the underside and leave no room for the grease gun to attach to it because of lack of space between the fitting and the recessed wall. Are these common problems?

Thanks

Pins are normally located in such a way as to prevent damage. Unfortunately this also means a lot of fiddling around to get them all greased too.

I would be very surprised if there was not a grease fitting on those pins, try rotating the bucket and see if they are not just tucked around the back somewhere. On some of the bigger machines they are recessed in the ends of the pins so that access is easier and they are not as exposed to damage.

Any pins that are too difficult to reach should be replaced with 45 or 90 deg. types so as to allow regular greasing.

Best of luck. ....

Took your advise and rotated the bucket, went through every inch of the center cylinder and there definately is no fitting on the bottom center pin. The outside bucket pin fittings are there and rotating the bucket made it a little easier to access them. The dealer is just down the street so I'm going to seem him later.

Thanks for your help. ....
