Well..... it doesn't make much sense to download a manual on a work computer if it's not near the tractor.... Do you have a home PC?

The manual tells what the manufacturer wants lubricated. Although I have seen mistakes in a manual, there usually isn't any "surprise" lube points not listed.

In my opinion, there are additional areas that I lubricate. I lube the throttle and choke cables fairly regularly. I lube the 3pt lift and pivot points, especially during use. I lube the hydro linkage a couple times a year, along with the brake and clutch pedal linkages. Lots of the moving parts do not have grease zerks, so I just use oil in a can. People can say it isn't necessary, but this has kept my machines linkages operating smooth for years. Plus, I have very minimal wear.
