Thanks for tip on tightening the zerks. I will definitely be checking mine. The paint marker is an excellent idea too. I also hit any exposed bare metal with Surface Shield to deter rust, like your pallet forks.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video hank. It was interesting. Taking time to grease and do preventative maintenance keeps equipment running lots longer. Thanks for going over these issues. Take care. Thanks for everything. The Iowa Farm Boy.

You bet

[@AnomadAlaska]

When I got a battery grease gun I greased every fitting I could find! Mind blown... Expensive yes. But you'll just complain about grease tube prices after getting one.

[@hhamilton1970]

lol. True

[@markrebman9882]

Great lesson!

[@hhamilton1970]

Thanks! 😃

We bought a property in Bonifay a couple of years back for retirement. We went by Cloud Autoparts to look at tractors this last weekend and mentioned we had seen them on your channel.

[@hhamilton1970]

They're Good people!

Being a machinist by trade I'm thinking all the same things that you are when you are removing easy outs or something that makes a job so great when you break something inside of a tapped hole.

[@soundsmith703]

Great information!! Keep up the awesome work.

[@hhamilton1970]

Thank you!

Good info...you may want to add washing the windows to this list. 😄

[@hhamilton1970]

Good call! I needed to do that today when I was box blading.

[@byronmiller800]

Picked up my new 574 H today ,7) how do I turn off auto throttle when I don’t want it? Manual doesn’t sy how to turn off

[@hhamilton1970]

You don't "turn it off" you need to disconnect the cables that control that if you want to only use the hand throttle.

[@FL.AirBoater]

Hank, Just clean the fittings before you grease them, Every time!

[@noonerstrickland1743]

Awesome tractor video! Keep ‘‘em coming Mr Hank 🚜

[@hhamilton1970]

😁👍

[@michaelwillcutt2619]

If you grease them routinely the grease want dry out in fitting

[@hhamilton1970]

I grease mine almost every time and I've had it happen before

[@Comshawfactory]

Now you can use that strap to hold that rod up.

[@wadeprunty]

Straighten up that poor grill guard, Hank. He done took one for the team. The least you could do is flatten him out.

[@hhamilton1970]

Nah, battle scars!!! 😂

[@wadeprunty]

Remember that when you blow out a knee saving Gina’s sunflowers from a old gangly dead tree, and she says, “consider it a battle scar.”

[@hhamilton1970]

Lol

[@brucecole4991]

Grease is the word brother

[@hhamilton1970]
