Lift lever hole?
 

So I'm starting to put the OEM 3 point on my 108. The rock shaft has a hole for the lift pin, and parallel to it [crossways to the pivot shaft] a hole about 1/2" ID that intersects the pivot shaft bore, as if for a grease fitting...but I never seen a grease fitting with that big a thread, so what am I dealing with? Thanks, Lurch

What? LOL.

How about a pic. I have no idea what you are talking about. There is a hole in the lever, it's for a machine with hydraulic lift..... But it's on the arm, not the shaft. :Huh:

See the extra hole? It's located perfectly for a zerk, but it's too big for anything less than 3/8 pipe thread...

I think you confused J-Mech by saying rock shaft. That is not the rock shaft. Just the top cast piece for the rear lift. The rock shaft is in the center of the tractor and controls the lift of the deck and the rear lift. As J-Mech said, there is a lever on the outside of the frame by the right foot rest that is on the end of the rock shaft. Anyway, check this out.

So it IS for a zerk? The install instructions for the OEM lift show nothing...but why that big of one, puzzles me slightly...a 1/4 pipe tap drops right in the hole, but I can get 3/8NPT 90 degree zerks from McMaster for about 4 bucks an each in packs of 3...personally I think a 1/4" machine thread zerk would be plenty...if it's not for a zerk I can't fathom what it would be fore, facing the backside like that...

Some PO drilled it. For what reason, I have no clue, but couldn't hurt to put a zerk right? Maybe he lost his 1/4 drill bit.:Huh: I will say that I just took a rear lift off a tractor that had been sitting outside for a LONG time, and the rod came right out of the rear casting. Easily I might add. Might as well put a zerk there just to fill the hole.

My bad--how do I go about renaming the thread "lift lever hole"?

Thank you so much! I have a 3-pk of 3/8 NPT zerks on order...

Edit you first post and change the title. I did this the other day because I misspelled something. :Forgot:

You're going to tap it for a thread in zerk? Like those better than press in, or was the hole too big? Just wondering.
