Rest of the machine got dirty grease wiped off, washed and then greased again. Found two problems, both on the dozer blade pins.
Bottom had a crushed collar around the grease nipple, that was probably me trying to juggle concrete beams without a thumb. Hammered it back in shape.
The top grease nipple wouldn't accept any grease. A battle ensued, the victims of which included a pile of rags, my t-shirt, the hose of the grease gun and half a cartridge of grease when I had to load and repair the other grease gun.
Turned out the pin is just very tight fitting and with the good pump I got some grease in there. Should get easier with wear!
One track needed a little more tension. Luckily no grease needed for that.
Ready!
