Tiger Mowers JD 5085M-105M, JD 5065M Greasing the Rear Drive Bearing and Extension Coupler Shaft

MAINTENANCE

With the cutter head lowered, locate the grease zerks on the linkage and pivot bosses. Inject Lithium- Complex Extreme Pressure grease conforming to NLG12-ISO 320 specifications until it protrudes from the ends. With the cutter head in this position it is also possible to grease the draft beam cylinder anchors and pins. Now raise the cutter head to expose the remaining zerks on the deck tilt linkages and on the other end of the cylinder.

GREASING THE REAR DRIVE BEARING AND EXTENSION COUPLER SHAFT

Locate the grease zerks for the rear flail drive extension shaft. Make sure the zerks are clean before injecting grease. One pump of grease into flange zerk and shaft coupler once every day or for every 8 hours of service.

GREASING PUMP DRIVE SHAFT COUPLER

With engine stopped, ensure drive shaft alignment by grasping coupler and sliding back and forth. Coupler should slice freely with approximately 1/8” of end play. If coupler does not slide freely, inspect for loose pump mount bolts, or damaged or loose crank shaft adapter. Inject-Lithium Complex Extreme Pressure grease conforming to NLGI2-ISO 320 specifications into coupler until grease begins to protrude from ends. Grease daily or every 8 hours. Do not over grease.
