It includes removing side panels for hard-to-reach access, troubleshooting a leaking grease gun hose, and rotating the flywheel to align a fitting. Useful for owners wanting a fitting-by-fitting reference for routine lubrication.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on maintenance on his own 1025R in an informal, DIY-friendly style.
There are two on the steering cylinder, four on the U-joints of the 4WD and main driveshafts, plus mid-PTO and autoconnect fittings not listed in the manual.
Remove both side panels and the black trim panel for access, then rotate the flywheel by hand to turn the fitting so you can reach it with the grease gun.
Removing the side panels and front black panel is extra work but gives much better access to the U-joint than greasing from underneath the tractor.
