My 1961 Case W3 (530) with Model 42 loader and model 42 bachoe are working awesome since I rebuilt case-o-matic. I was wondering why the backhoe linkage has very few grease fittings. Hydraulic ram end has one and thats it. Did the original pins come with internal grease fittings on ends? My pins I expect are non original. I replaced one badly worn pin. I was thinking of drilling 1/16" or 1/8" holes through the arms etc. Then again maybe a stronger option just to slide pins part way out and add grease. I could drill holes in shafts too. Not sure what to do. I replaced one pin with actual shaft material that is harder than mild steel. I drilled 1/4" holes through ends and pinned ends with 1/4" bolts\nyloc nuts. A couple holes on bucket have worn out bushings and holes now oval, to the point their is wear in the castings. I can fix that in the winter. I have a needle point grease gun end too for my 4x4 pick-up yet it seems all fittings on machine are male.
