Chasis lube chart?

[supercub]

Is there a chart that shows the location of the places to grease on my W-20 chasis? Also, what kind of grease is recommended? Thanks
Brian

BRIAN: Take a look at this thread HERE

You may also want to DL the chassis guide available at the top of this forum.

Just go to Workhorse.com and inter your vin. to register your chasis and in the store section there is a free chasis guide download with all the info you need.

Others have posted the info is in the 2006 Chassis Guide (page 96). Easy to do, as I've done it myself. Funny (well, I might not have laughed at first) part was I had to buy a different grease gun, as I couldn't find the proper grease in the smaller cartridges. (NLGI #2, Category LB or GC-LB, page 94 of the Chassis Guide gives you all the recommended fluids and lubricants.) Was ready to go, only to discover that someone had opened up the packaging and taken the fitting off the end of the grease gun hose, so I couldn't connect to a zerk. And of course, the smaller gun I already had didn't have the correct size for the MH zerks. Took far more time to buy the gun, make the discovery and go back to the auto supply store for the fitting then it took to complete the lubing of the zerks.

Best part is the satisfaction of knowing that all the zerks were done...

Mine seem extremely tight, and I sometime have to really work to get if off. A Lincoln tech told me to tilt the tip 30 degrees to release it. That helps but I have at least one zerk, the one I installed on the bell crank tube, that does not have enough side clearance to do that.

When the tip is straight on the fitting is in its optimum position to transfer grease and pressure. Releasing that coupling requires breaking the connection by bending the tip off to the side. Cleaning the zerk before and after is important.

If you are having a problem breaking a connection in a universal joint for example you will have to pull the tip off the zerk with as much bend as possible if 30° of space is not available.
