Grease Is The Word

Not having a Service Manual, I need to ask this question: How, Where and With What does one lube (or grease, as it were) the chassis of a GE? This is something to which I have never paid much attention. I'm more into fluid changes (coolant, brake, MT, oil). Maybe it's time I learned something (as my father used to say).

School me, gentlemen.


Thanks.

I don't know of much of anything on my GD that even has a fitting, it looks like most of it is sealed..

Pretty standard these days a lot of rigs have sealed ball joints, tie rods etc and they are run to break..

Zerk fittings have gone the way of the dinosaur. Pretty much all modern cars have sealed joints. I've seen some shade trees stab the rubber and squirt grease into a joint. Wouldn't recommend that though.

I think you guys are right. The last thing I can recall greasing is that thing on the doors (not the hinges).
