Has anybody ever greased the top tilt pins on a skid steer. Was working on a 2022 Case TV370B and it had a screeching noise when curling the bucket. I thought it was the lower pin but I greased it and screeching was still there. Ended up being the upper pin. They have no grease fitting and come dry from the factory. Machine only had 40hrs on it. I took the pin out and greased it and noise went away. Never had a issue with a upper pin.

some manf. have started doing that so operaters do not get grease on thier clothes on entry and exit of machine. my 2017 wacker neuson sw-20 has the same feature, so far mine makes no noise. We shall see about life of the joint. But you might have a idea of a little grease being added.
