I'm pretty sure but....'things' on my JD60

[UncleCarl]

So I couldn't really find anything in any of my manuals, but I'm wondering about a couple things. The first is a pipe fitting in the fan shaft, right behind the fan. I'm thinking I replace it with a grease zerk and grease it every so often. Am I correct? The second is a 'plug' looking thing on my water pump. What is it and do I need to check it or put any lube in it? I haven't tried to unscrew it yet, as I wanted to ask first. Thanks for all inputs. Uncle Carl

The fan shaft could use a pump once in a while. DON'T touch the water pump plug, it is for a bypass pipe on later tractors, It is sealed with an oring, and I'm sure the plug is rusted in for good by now.

AWESOME! Thanks for the answers matthies. Much appreciated.

Yeppers, I agree. In fact I just 'lubed ' my '53 60 a few days ago.

Thanks Bob. Appreciate the confirmation. I may keep your name handy for future questions on my 60.
