Lubrication of F41
Careful and regular attention to lubrication will greatly increase the life of the harrow. For economical and efficient
operation, the proper lubrication of frame fittings, gang bearings, and wheel bearings is essential.
Be sure fittings are free of dirt before greasing. If a fitting is lost or damaged, replace it immediately. Lubricate all parts
thoroughly with a good grade No. 2 gun grease (Lithium Base).
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with lubrication fittings should be oiled occasionally with a good grade of
lubrication oil.
ROCKSHAFT RETAINER PINS: Grease every week or 50 hours of operation.
GANG BEARINGS: The AMCO wheel type offset disk harrow is equipped with triple sealed regreasable ball bearings.
The bearings are packed and greased at the factory. Grease these bearings every week or 50 hours of operation.
IMPORTANT apply grease with a low pressure, low volume hand grease gun. Use care to prevent damage to bearing
seals. At the end of the season, all bearings should be greased, then raise the harrow on its wheels and spin the gangs
slowly so that grease wraps around the bearing seals. This will help protect the seals from the elements during periods of
storage.
HITCH: The hitch stabilizer should be greased every week or 50 hours of operation. The stabilizer should also be
greased at the start of each season and at the end of each season. The threads on the stabilizer rod should be cleaned
out and oiled occasionally for smooth operation.
