Fendt cardan shaft

[cowboysupper]

I’m going through the grease nipples on a second hand Fendt 415 we have for the first time.

Struggling to find the grease nipple at the rear end of the cardan shaft. Took a photo of the under side of the shaft(below). I’m wondering has someone previously inserted a small bolt where the grease nipple should be?

Is it greased packed like a 4x4 CV joint

Not quite sure what you mean. Wouldn’t call myself a wizard around machines.

I’ve since been told that the 415 sometimes only has one grease nipple on the cardan shaft.

Front drive shaft on a car or 4x4 have a rubber gator covering the constant velocity joint ,its a grease filled pto knuckle in all sense ,,just thinking that the drive shaft on your fendt might be the same ,,Im presuming the cardan shaft is the conection from the crank shaft to the front pto

It will tell you in the manual

Had several models over the past few years and still haven't seen that grease nipple yet either.
Dealership said don't sweat it if it isn't there.

It’s a cv joint, if the rubber boot is good I wouldn’t worry too much, if you do decide to grease it don’t put much in as they’re a sealed unit & you could split the boot, speak to your dealer they’ll guide you

Our 415 the shaft broke couple of times. And the dealer said it could b to much grease being pumped in. They said it shouldn’t b greased

Was told one shot only at every five thousand hours.

Waste of money this grease stuff...


I worked in plant hire for a bit.

The branch manager told me not to grease the diggers because the grease around the pins made them look messy....

The Cowshit works fine

I bet you heard that, adopted the stance of a particularly large monkey, and said: 'wow, I wish I was as clever as you' as you walked away scratching your ass.

Thread hi Jack coming up. I sat in a fendt 724 the other day and was wondering what the big nipple shaped button on floor does? Any fendt people with the answer? Cheers

Ours failed at 50 hours from new. I was told it was a £5k repair but can’t be 100% sure as it was warranty even though they tried to dump it on us to begin with.
