and none in the manual.... They were on the 13' so I expected to see them in the same location on the 14', but not the case. My curiosity was spiked so I looked harder at the machine, consulted the manual, and talked to the dealer, and all confirmed, no zerk fittings.

:shocked: We're Zerkless? :shocked:
As much as I hate getting grease all over everything but the inside of those fittings; how can this really be a good thing? :dontknow:

Grease points are really old school, most joints/bearings are pre packed and maintenance free nowadays and have been for a very long time, I was surprised to find them on my 2013.

Trying to learn here...
So most joints/bearings are pre packed and sealed these days?
How often do they need to be replaced?
Yeah, I'm old school...

Sorry I don't have a definitive answer to that question, it's like how long is a piece of string. There are so many variables that contribute to the life of a component, they are sealed for "life" and need replacing when they wear out.

It always made me feel just a little bit useful; if I was getting grease smeared all over something, :shocked: a couple of times each season! :D

As I get older I find my skills being more useless each and every day. Now i'm told "no grease needed"? :roflblack:

Thankfully; I have one skill that refuses to go out of style... :thumbup:
I can always serve as a perfectly bad example... :opps:
