I did not take all 4 drive shafts off the C60L and correct the problem, but the next drive shaft I did I was careful get them all on the same side of the shaft and he was correct it does make it easier to grease if you don't have to keep rotating the shaft to get the next fitting.

Great notes for sure phil, I learned that with my skidder....it has many many grease fittings at just the end of my reach inside the dirtiest most greasy machine Ive ever seen....I bought a milwaukee 18v grease gun with a 46 inch long hose - changed my life
