Thanks Don, and it's on going !!!

So those piglets produced 108 kg of. meat including 33 kgs of sausages and burgers - spent the morning collecting it, and curing the joints I'm hamming and baconing. Belly pork, tenderloins and a couple of legs are being kept back for roasting.

I actually managed to get a bit of play time, putting back the digger floor pan, and going over every grease point making sure that the grease is getting through. Replaced five missing grease nipples, changed some hard of access ones for 45 degree offset ones, but the hardest was on the boom lift cylinder lower eye. The shroud has been clobbered at some times preventing a grease gun fitting. It took a bit of nifty work with an angle grinder and cold chisel to remove enough of the bent shroud to get the old nipple out and replace it

awemawson:
Amazingly I've got through two full cartridges of grease - the main ring bearing that the entire digger revolves on took 20 pumps of the gun at the four quadrant points (ie 80 pumps) and still there was no tell tale grease emerging ! Service is supposed to be four pumps at each quadrant.

I left the dipper end as I have a rebuild kit to fit tomorrow with all new bushes and pins so it seemed a little pointless to grease the old stuff !
