Nice looking D4D Pete . I have had several over the years including one of the 84 Js that was turboed a real hot rod.Be sure to keep the trap door bolted down for the Hyd track adjusters. Had a rattlesnake crawl up there once when the mechanics didn’t put the bolts back in the trap door.

That's kinda tricky but effective. I was mad at my gun and all the time I just forgot to pop the top, been greasing equipment 44 years, glad nobody was watching LOL

At -17 F here today that grease ain't pumping even for those goofy enough to try with the pop top pulled. We always grease at the end of the day with the grease pre-warmed.
