Has anyone tried to use the Longer LockNLube XL Coupler to reach the grease zerk on the 1025R driveshaft U-joint? I tried the needle dispenser and it would not go into the joint...just made a mess around the grease zerk.

Don't think you can get a normal grease gun onto either the front or rear driveshaft Ujoint on the 1025R nor 2025R. Had mine done at 200 hours by JD coming and getting the tractor (on the 2025R; never did the ones on the 1025R). JD had to remove the driveshaft to grease them. You have to turn them almost 90 degrees to get a normal grease gun onto them. There are ones that you push against the zerk but do not lock onto it, but you gotta have a good, straight shot at it. These are the only ones that would work on these zerks.

Did mine this past weekend with a standard coupler on a 6" nipple with a zerk on the other end to connect the grease gun to. Worked like a champ on both driveshaft zerks once I got the alignment right.

I didn't have any problems greasing the front one on mine either using a standard grease gun, just lined it up with the hole and stuck the hose tip on and gave her a couple of squirts, no drama. I had been putting it off because of all of the stories I had read on here about it 😂

Might be a tad harder with a hose but it's not like it's deep in a cave. It's only about 1 to 1-1/2 inches inside the frame. I had more trouble lining it up since my 3rd Function SCV plumbing runs near the flywheel and I needed to use a screwdriver to move it.

I just turned the driveshaft using a big screw driver in the rear u-joint.

The 3rd SCV plumbing prevents me from doing that. Need to use the teeth in the flywheel.
