[QUOTE="Jyuma, post: 47407, member: 4393"] I checked the Operator's Manual and there is no mention of how to lubricate the pivot points on the bucket. However, there is a footnote that says “A bucket is normally stored with its two pins and their washers and securing bolts. Remove these pins, check the bushings in the bucket“. That's it... nothing more. I guess one is left to assume from that one footnote that the bucket should be removed from the dipper when not in use and stored in some location along with its pins and washers. Although the instructions do not specifically reference lubricating the bucket pivot pin and the cylinder extension pin, I guess these need to be packed with grease upon each use (assembly of the bucket to the dipper). I can tell you this for sure... in the roughly 20 years I've owned this machine I have never once removed the bucket or greased the bucket pivot points. Small wonder they are both frozen (rusted) solid and had to be cut out rather than driven out with a drift. [/QUOTE]
