your tractor.

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the pivot points which have special nylon bearings. Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt that will shorten the life of the sell-lubdcafing beadngs. If you feel they must be lubricated, use only a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
