How about a grease cartridge thread?

All I use since I got a lube shuttle gun.
No mess, fuss or drips. Admittedly I do not have to grease a lot but if I was doing a lot of equipment again then I would go back to a pail and air pump.

I use the same! Never had a problem with "purging air" that so many report.

Red and tacky sucks. It leeches oil and runs all over the place. This Exxon grease doesn’t do that and cost about the same as red grease. I like those plastic tubes better too. My truck toolboxes leak a little bit and those tubes don’t get ruined from being a little wet. View attachment 3830251

The Lucas HD green is far thicker and doesn’t leach oil like the red. It’s all I use.

Lucas did change the Red n Tacky formula after their plant burned and built the new one.

My first time attempting to fill a cartridge with grease was from a five gallon pail no cartridge and no pump. I tried to hold the bottom of the barrel in the grease and suck the grease into it by slowly pulling back on the plunger. Grease went many places and very few were inside the gun. When I finally got a box of cartridges I felt like a grease monkey gone to town.

Yeah they are great. No more gloves needed just to change a cartridge.

All I use, except on my excavator. On that I use Case-IH tan colored grease. I think thats what the original owner used.

It does cost more, but I think it’s worth the premium.

Here’s the newer plastic pull cap on Lucas Green. They suck.

I use mobile one synthetic grease or sometimes marine grease, it stays on even if it goes underwater. I use a hand pump grease gun I bought in 1988 from Napa for the tractors and loaders I had then. still works great today
