Read articles →An owner walking through every grease fitting on his LS MT232, front-end loader, and grapple attachment. He references both the tractor and loader manuals, counts out all the zerks (16 on the loader, four on the front axle, two on the back, six on the grapple), covers grease type, grease gun loading, and a Lock-N-Lube adapter tip for recessed fittings. Most useful for new MT232 owners unsure if they're hitting every point.
Posted by the Mallard 5 (+1) Farmhouse & Homestead channel, whose host CJ presents as a hands-on owner sharing personal maintenance experience rather than a dealer or manufacturer.
The loader has 16 zerk fittings total, with 8 shown on one side and 8 on the other, according to the loader manual.
The manual specifies NLGI2 grease, which refers to the consistency or hardness. The owner uses Lucas Oil Red and Tacky, which is NLGI number two.
There are two fittings on the back: one on the adjustable cylinder for the three-point arm, and one on the lifting arm lever that the manual did not mention.
The grapple has six grease fittings total, three on each side, and the owner recommends greasing it more often than other parts.
