I have an L4060 that I bought last year from a dealer with 170 hours on it. I keep it in a garage and I've only put about 20 light-duty hours on it since then. I grease the loader every 10 hours and I decided to grease the rest of the tractor instead of waiting for 50 hours (which seems like too long of an interval) as stated in the manual. Well, I was looking in the manual for the locations of the zerks, and the manual clearly shows a zerk on the top of the left and right front wheel case supports, where the wheel connects to the axle. Well, please the 2 attached photos. My tractor has a couple of little flat spots in the casting where the zerks are shown in the manual, but there are no holes and no zerks on my tractor.
I'm not sure what to think. If zerks are supposed to go there, a hole would have to be drilled and tapped and I can't imagine that would be something that Kubota would normally have the dealer perform when the tractor was originally delivered to the previous owner. Do I need to worry about this? Thanks for any advice.
UPDATE - SOLVED - I was looking at my operator's manual and had not looked at the WSM and I just looked at that and the 3560 and my 4060 have an axle without grease fittings and the larger models, 4760 and up have axles with zerks. Thanks for the help.
