My B2650 HSDCC (cab) had a little different brake set up and there are no gease zerks for the brakes on mine. The 3 grease zerks for the 50 service are: 1). speed control pedal, 2). top link and 3). lifting rod (right).
Terry, question for you, in the manual it says to lubricate the loader control valve every 10 hours when greasing loader. What are you guys using to lubricate the control valve? Thanks.
I will have to look. Honestly we look for what seems to be quality grease and go with it. I am sure there is one or a few that are best but I do not want to lie to you I have no clue which is best. Terry
Dear Terry, Good job; don't forget Brian's elbows (I reckon you might need to pump half a cartridge in each elbow!!!). holding the camera is hard work you know! Kind regards.
Problem with that theory is if his elbows get to loose they may not be as steady then the video will be horrible. Are you trying to destroy our channel? Lol. Terry
Dear Terry, Thank you very much for your courteous reply. I must admit in my haste I've completely forgotten my basic principles of engineering; the more lubricant, the less resistance & thus Brian's arms would no longer be able to remain reasonably stiff in order to film properly. Profuse apologies for my half cocked idea. As for ruining your lovely channel. I wouldn't dream of spoiling dear Sir, what two lovely fellows doing their very best. You're far too nice a pair to want to ruin things. Good God man, I am working towards my sainthood, don't you know??? All the best to both of you. Kind regards.
Dear Terry, Thank you very much for your courteous & hearted reply. Saint ToolsConsumables I fear is a bit premature right now. Have to get the Pope's approval first. but rest assured I am working on it. Kind regards.
I looked a few minutes ago and did not see one. There are bushings and a valve I think but the tractor is up against the side of the garage so I could not get to it very well. I will check it closer when we get it out and see but pretty sure there is not one there. Terry
If you see a thumb size cutout (3 sides) in the floor mat, pry it up and the zerk for the tredal pedal is down there. BX 25 has a stupid pedal set up instead of shuttle lever and no individual rear wheel brakes. Design by city folk!
Good advice which I did not show here. Also I usually make sure that what ever area it is on has plenty of grease in the threads. Then work it up and down the rod a bit every time you adjust it to keep that grease workable. Clean it off and grease again if it gets tough to move through. Terry
You "squish" enough grease it so that you can tell you put some grease in it: Enough so that you can tell it has some grease in it; Do this very often; One jacking of the handle will give it all it needs then in a few hours of operation you can be sure most of it has worked its way out; I used to be the one to come in early and grease heavy equipment on commercial / industrial construction; This is how ya do it Put some in and wipe excess with rag if you need to for any reason; We greased every lube point every day as 10 Hours is typical day so that is where that is from;
Greasing these things is what makes them last. I know a guy who has never grease his bucket and its probably 15 years old. Never saw it in use but i bet its dry as a bone. Terry
I'm an idiot. I've gone through 2 grease guns, pulled and replaced several grease nipples on the truck, thinking both were defective because they would flow grease out around the fitting when I pumped it. I'd be under there fighting tooth and nail to press the gun against the nipple, while trying to pump at the same time...... And in 5 seconds on a video about a tractor I don't own, far down the youtube rabbit hole, I learn that you unscrew the tip to fit on the nipple. Wow. How I've managed to miss that all these years is beyond me.
Ha ha, you are not alone. I have asked many people and no one knew about it. Sure makes life easier when you figure it out! I am 56 and have greased many fittings. Then all of the sudden I am like, "wait a minute, this is much simpler than I thought" ha ha. Live and learn. Terry

Thanks for the heads up again. I guess they re-engineer these things over the years.

Is there a zerk on the pivot of the hydrostatic pedal on that model? There is on mine and it gets a ton of use.
I looked a few minutes ago and did not see one. There are bushings and a valve I think but the tractor is up against the side of the garage so I could not get to it very well. I will check it closer when we get it out and see but pretty sure there is not one there.

There is on my 2650 HSDCC. 2 squirts and grease was coming out

Loosen off the jamb nut on the lower link and rotate it so it doesn't rust in place.
