info Greasing grease-zerks on the Zetor 3340

[Robertzetor3340]

I greased my Zetor 3340 and I began at the front of the tractor.
I liked that all these grease zerks had grease zerks caps on them too.

1st front axle King Pins (4 grease zerks)

2nd front axle Pivot Pin (2 grease zerks forward and back)

3rd 4WD Shaft Couplers (2 grease zerks one forward and one back)

4th Clutch Shaft (2 grease zerks one left side and one on the right side)
Note: I am not sure what these 2 grease zerks are doing,
but I gave each one about 4 shots of grease,
as there was no way of knowing how much grease is needed for them.
My thinking is, 4 shots of grease should be safe to do for the Clutch Shaft.

5th There a 3 grease zerks at the back of the tractor with the 3-Point-Hitch.

6th I also greased the Loader which had 16 grease zerks with no grease zerks caps.
I may get some and add them to the loader.

Good morning...

First of all, a tip: for the front axle and the clutch shaft, as well as the entire lifting gear and attachments, an EP grease, such as the green TOP 2003 from Divinol, is best, as the grease does not flow away on its own on warm summer days and can withstand a higher pressure load than a standard grease, thus lubricating the lubrication point for longer and better.

The EP grease is not suitable, however, for the power steering cylinder (the one mounted on the side of the engine) if a Zetor is equipped with one - standard grease is more suitable there.

4. - Clutch shaft
Please apply a maximum of half a stroke of grease on each side and every 100 hours is completely sufficient. The excess grease just accumulates uselessly in the clutch bell. Be careful - 4 strokes are far too many.
