ABSTRACT:
A lubricant filled reservoir attached to a pressuring device is adapted to deliver lubricant from the reservoir to between the padding layers of the shaker heads. The lubricant reservoir and pressuring device in one arrangement of the invention is a manually operated hand-held grease gun attachable to a lubricant fitting which extends through an outer pad of the shaker head to a second layer of padding. In another arrangement of the invention the lubricant reservoir is mounted on the harvester and the pressuring device is either manually or power operable from within the driver's cab. A conduit extending from the mounted lubricant reservoir to the shaker head padding is generally permanently attached as a part of the machine. The driver in this arrangement may grease the shaker heads periodically without stopping the tree shaking process or leaving the driver's cab.
