Grease fitting locations on Deere 212

DMartin9N-2N · Aug 30, 2021

Good afternoon all: I have got my variator and steering gear in good order, now I want to grease the chassis. I know about the fitting under the right pedal shaft, also at the king pins, also the idler pulley bracket under right side of engine. BUT, where is the fitting for the front axle where it pivots on the tractor frame? It has been a long time for me, and can't find my book, either! I suspect I need to remove the "draft plate" or arm that connects the front of mower deck to front of frame. I probably should have greased that fitting before I put the mower deck back on....

Any help from someone who has been there, done that; much appreciated.

Here is a free pdf for your tractor.
http://www.wfmfiles.com/download/manuals/SM2105 (Oct-76).pdf
section 10
group 15 fuel and lubricants
15-2 shows grease fitting locations, BUT, their are none on the front axle where it pivots on the tractor frame .
I need to replace the bushing in the axle , probably didn't need to , but this was my fix.
If you want/need to , remove the bolt holding the axle and with a metal lathe , drill a 1/8" hole in the end 1 1/2" deep , install a grease fitting , then drill a 1/8"cross hole through one side with a drill press .

Good evening, Jo Bird: Thanks very much! Good to know there is no fitting on center axle pivot, so I am not overlooking it. That saved me a lot of work, trying to gain access to a center fitting that does not exist.

Excellent to have access to PDF manual.
