Hey all, my problem seems to be the opposite of most greasing problems. The left pin on my loader purges clean grease from a hole in the end, instead of from the pivot point. There is no resistance when pumping. I thought I’d pick all of your brains before I took it apart. The zerk is on the other end of the pin. The right pin has the same holes but greases properly with the expected resistance. Anyone seen this before? It’s a LA340 on a BX23s

Zoom out as I can't tell where that is on the loader.
It looks like the amount of grease all around what your pointing at, is that it's well greased.

I’ll get a better photo when I get home. It’s a quick attach plate. When I first got it everything greased fine. Now when I put grease in the zerk clean grease comes out of that hole on the quick attach plate.
