Hi !
I was looking into the SM2063 Service Manual on the subject of rollers
and they state that there is a special grease gun, to put grease # 0 (zero) into the rollers but on my machine it seems to be oil that is into the rollers ?
Anyone knows any trick to use something else than that special grease gun ??
Or I mistaking oil with grease # 0 ( maybe this grease is very light and looks like oil ) .

The gun is a special low pressure gun that is no longer available. The grease was track and roller grease, which is also no longer available. The best compromis I have found is a pistol grip gun, and just be careful that when you feel resistance, you quit. For grease, unless you can find track and roller grease in the aftermarket, go to you dealer and ask for Cornhead grease, it is pretty much the same thing.
If you have aftermarket lifetime rollers on your crawler, then use only oil.

Hi !
Thank you , but how can I know if my rollers are genuine J-D or aftermarket ?
If I use oil I could use normal 15w-40 oil or I better go with hydraulic oil ?
I thought I had a shot rollers but from what I could see is that
the outside hole where the pin come out and we attache the nut seems to be ovalized so maybe fixing that would do the job .

Original rollers will have a grease zerk on the end of the axle, and a nut holding the end cap to the axle.
Sealed roller will have a large flat axle end with a pipe plug that you take out to put in the oil, some do not even have that.
Judging by your description, you have at the least a genuine Deere roller. If it has the zerk, then it is early, if not, then a later replacement roller.
