Re: grease plug on tensioner jd450

Hi folks, The day is good. I received the gun and lock n lube Sunday morning. I wasn't able to get the tensioner to move more than 1/2 inch using the air operated gun so I purchased the hand operated gun. Using the hand operated gun the tensioner moved about 2 inches and now the track has about 1-1/...

Re: grease plug on tensioner jd450

Ordered an 8000 psi grease gun and another lube n lock coupler last night, would it be better if the track was not on the ground when tensioning the track?

Re: track pads JD straight 350

Sorry about that, I was just joking about the straight 350, the thought occurred to me, why you would have to qualify the 350 as straight unless they made some that were crooked and the parts might be different. I will try and keep those kinds of thoughts to myself. Also what is the 40c mean just be...

Re: grease plug on tensioner jd450

I am 99.9 % sure the ball was never in the yoke. The jam nut was missing and only about 1/4" of threads remained outside the casting. I think that's why they left the nut off.

Re: grease plug on tensioner jd450

WOW I received the lock n lube today and It came with free seal kit..I was able to move the Tensioner about 1/2 inch? Using an air operated grease gun, might need something bigger. I have no idea how much pressure the grease is under. Air pressure was set at 100 psi.
How sweet it is

Re: grease plug on tensioner jd450

Thanks cutting edge, called the dealer and now have 4 balls and 2 jam nuts on the way. My grease plug didn't have the jam nuts? now I wonder if it actually had the ball under the plug. the balls were 70 cents each, I forgot to ask how much the nuts were.

Re: grease plug on tensioner jd450

Well, i searched the pile of grease, no luck could it still be in yoke? What size ball would I need? Would a dealer have them? The rollers don't have grease fittings, what's up with that? I seem to be taking 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards. I knew breaking a mirror a couple of weeks ago was goi...

Re: grease plug on tensioner jd450

What is the purpose of the little ball? Will the plug not work without the ball?
