Grease fitting mods to make lubing easier

[Mad Mackie]

Hi Troops,
I have done several easy mods to make lubing Scag Zeroturn machines easier to perform periodic lubes.
These involve the push arms which are the triangular shaped mower deck side sway links and the parking brake actuators located behind the drive wheels.
The push arms involve two 90 degree grease fittings positioned in the 12 o'clock position so they can be lubed under the raised seat.
The parking brake actuators involve two 45 degree grease fittings positioned close to the 12 o'clock position, which also can be lubed from above and wheel removal is no longer required to perform this lube.
Check out the pics.

Great work Mad Mackie, the zerks look like factory. You are saving yourself lots of work in the lifetime of your machine. Those parts you improved will last much longer and save you money. I don't know why more haven't replied to your post, this is good stuff. Thanks for sharing
