In reply to: LGMN 's message, "Grease Fitting Location" on 10/ 13/ 04, 2:55pm

The service manager at my authorized Blue Bird dealer, who had thirteen years experience at the Blue Bird factory, said my 1984 PT36 did not have a grease fitting in the steering shaft. I replaced the steering column a few years ago and it had a collar that fitted over a pin in the steering shaft so there may not be a universal joint in the 84's. 85's and 86's have the zerk fitting in the middle of the universal joint and the shaft must be positioned correctly to both see the fitting and attach the grease nozzle. I understand the universal joint is just above the steering box and an eighteen inch flexible extension is needed to reach the fitting. The fitting is so inaccessible, that even if seen, there may not be enough room to attach the extension to the fitting.
