I was thinking the same. Done my handler after hearing a squeak. Worked a treat. Wondered whether to do the tractor ones...Does anyone else drill and tap new ball joints for grease nipples, or is it just me ?

Fully agree. A lot livelier than a 35x, even tho there’s only 1.5hp of difference. They feel a lot steadier or something aswellsome how the 135 is a nicer drive than a 35, least i prefer the 135 unless I need a lighter footprint.
And a 35x isn't exactly a slouch...Fully agree. A lot livelier than a 35x, even tho there’s only 1.5hp of difference. They feel a lot steadier or something aswell
No the one we had lately was a good going thing, we have 2 135s now and they are both far more lively than it wasAnd a 35x isn't exactly a slouch...

Remember watching a program on vehicle making in some far off country in Asia. All to do with how efficient they were, every man had a specfic job. This one man’s was greasing joints. All day every joint that needed doing he out the same number of shots in each place, then program director asked him how often during they day the grease gun needed re filling. He replied that it wasn’t as it wasn’t his job. Had a few offshore bearing here that the balls rattle because of no grease and they are sealed. China’s way of slowly bringing down the western world lolJoints on my Toyota truck were squeaking, not bin on long so i didn't think it could be them , come with a blank bolt and i swap to nipple, swap back ...
They took about 20 shots each , id thought be supplied greased.
Obviously squeaking went.
About like Ole and Sven, the Swedish immigrants who took a job with the state highway department...bystander was watching them work one day, Ole dug a hole and Sven came along filled it in.Remember watching a program on vehicle making in some far off country in Asia.

Yes, did the same on rotary milking parlour and doubled service interval.I always remove the seal on a 2rs bearing (rubber seal) but a slither of grease in and but seal back on
Didn’t think there would be much difference between the two or have you fatter tyres on one?some how the 135 is a nicer drive than a 35, least i prefer the 135 unless I need a lighter footprint.
