LUBRICATION 

 

 

Proper lubrication and regular maintenance will increase the 
operating  life  of  your  HUSKY tractor.  It  is suggested  that 
lubrication recommendations in this  manual be followed. A 
lubrication  schedule  prepared  by  the  operator  would  be 
beneficial. 

The  numerically  listed  locations  on  the  lubrication  chart 
correspond to those numbers shown on Figures 24, 25, 26, 
27 and 28.
