He physically points out and greases every fitting on the tractor and backhoe attachment (front bucket, loader arms, backhoe swivels, outriggers, controller), explains his WD40-and-red-grease method, and shows how to clear debris from a stubborn nipple. Good for new T474 or loader/backhoe owners wanting a complete fitting-by-fitting reference.
Posted by an owner (Brian from Garage Hall) sharing hands-on impressions from his own tractor rather than a dealership or professional mechanic.
There are fittings at four points on the front bucket itself, plus more going up the loader arms, including two over to the side.
The owner says to make sure you are greasing it every eight hours.
He had gravel and dirt in one bucket-side connection and used his Leatherman to clean it out before attaching the grease gun.
He sprays fittings with WD40 to clean off dirt, wipes with a rag, then applies waterproof red grease with a grease gun, pumping until it squirts out.
