Good thing is to grease it it only requires seconds to unscrew the cover.
I prefer to do this than even if it had a grease nipple, that way I can direct the grease at the exact spots that need lubing, rather than just pumping the grease in.
It is poss to over fill the gearbox .
Id like to have a good look at the husky, haven't seen it in the flesh but from pics it looks a similar design but, not as streamlined.
So the 85 is def finished ?
Cheers Fred.
