Problem du Jour
Well guys, I thought I had my "grease fitting" problem solved by
purchasing an "Alemite" grease gun off of e bay but as perversity
would have it, the thing won't fit my fittings. I have posted two
pictures in the "files" section of one of the fittings (under the
Parts section). Now, I always thought this was an "Alemite" (as
opposed to a "zerk") but I guess I don't know my grease fittings very
well. What the heck is it and where the heck can I find a grease gun
to fit the sucker??? It is, in diameter, about 5/16" (estimate) and
has a spring-loaded ball seal at the end (shown). The pins on the
side are pretty hefty and appear to be what holds the end of the
grease gun and the fitting together during the greasing process (note
that I would normally pronounce that "greez' ing" but I can
understand that some would not).
HELP!!
