I have a 2003 John Deer 2210 Sub Compact Tractor I purchased recently with approximately 260 HRS. It has a full steel Curtis Cab. I ve been reading about problems with the Driveshaft issues and trying to lubricate the U Joints. I ve tried ALL the YouTube recommendations without ANY success! The problem I have for instance with the front Joint is that the Zirk fitting is turned up and so close to the Driveshaft that I ve had 0 Success getting grease into the cups of the joint. I can t really get a wrench onto the Zirk to try to loosen it a bit to allow me to get grease into it. Just too tight an area to work in. Grease everywhere but where it should go. I can move the ball of the Zirk so I know there seems to be nothing wrong with that. I THINK! The U joint that I ve inspected is the front one. It does seem perfectly fine for now. I haven t even attempted to look into the rear Joint yet. What if any other things might I try?? How much work is it to remove the Driveshaft from the Tractor?? Keep in mind I have the Curtis Cab. Is there a YouTube video explaining how this is accomplished? Whereas the U joints I m sure are fine for now but I m worried about in the future! WHAT THE HECK WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY DESIGNED THIS AWFUL WAY OF DOING THIS! Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated! Again. I believe I ve seen all the information so far! Is there an adapter other than the common ones that I might try. Thank you all!
