Tc45d Questions on Quick attach and grease fittings

[missesalot]

I have several plugged grease fittings, wondering if anyone knows what size is used on this machine or whether they are SAE or Metric, as they all seem to be the same size. Dealer is exactly zero help. Same situation on my 758c backhoe. Has anyone ever used those grease fitting clearers that you hammer on that blasts thin oil in there?

Quick attach, I broke one of the handles. Is this weldable? Didn't know if was cast of some sort. Are these pretty easy to take apart for replacing the handle? Thanks a lot in advance.

Buy a kit of assorted zerks in metric and imperial and simply replace the bad fittings. You arent saving any time or money trying to fix them.

Re QA, I dont know where your break is or what the handles are made out of so I cant really comment other than id be trying to weld them as my first step.
