Am a tad confused about greasing my new acquistion – a 2013 AGT 835 TS alpine tractor (front wheel steer, i.e. not articulated steering): the manual mentions 3 types of grease, but no real guidance on what to use where. I have not a clue about different greases or the effect of mixing different mineral based greases. I should be most grateful for any thoughts/advice.
Specified greases:
Calcium graphite (FUCHS renolit bfx – red) – for low speed/high load bearings, mechanical restrictions (?) and poor weather conditions
Calcium on mineral base with colloid graphite (INA GKS – black) – for low speed/high load bearings.
Barium complex (INA bapleks T2 – yellow) – for all types of bearings & parts which come into contact with water [ Comment: but surely, all tractor parts come into contact with water !! ]
Greasing points:
Hand brake lever coupling }
Foot brake pedal coupling } not too concerned about greasing these 3, but I mention anyway
Clutch pedal coupling }
3 pt linkage:
Lift arms joints couplings
Lift cylinders top and bottom couplings
Front steering joints (I want to get that right at least!)
Steering cylinder couplings
+ Cardon shaft
No mention of wheel bearings so I assume these are sealed/self-lubricating bearings.
Finally, am I worrying unnecessarily about grease specifications ?!
Thanks
