FEL lubrication - has to be a better way

[Franko]

Better way than I know, anyway. The saying is 'we have the tools and the talent'. When it comes to greasing my FEL grease fittings, I have neither.
I need to do something about this to help out my Kubota B7800 because it has been neglected for way too long, and I know this is the place to find out.
I believe that part of the problem is my venerable grease gun, which has a flexible hose that flops around and makes it hard to get the grease into the fitting at all. If guess if I had three hands, I could use two to pump the thing and the third to hold the end of the hose on the fitting. So those of you who have this figured out, please help me out.

Get a Milton pistol grip grease gun with flex hose and Lock and Lube to lock on to the zerts, money well spent

 

[old and tired]

or a battery operated grease gun ($$$)

LockNLube

Loc-n-Lube for sure. It locks it on the zerk and you can punch right through hardened grease.

 

[Franko]

Cool. I ordered one.
Thanks,
Frank

What works for me is a pistol grip grease gun with the rigid pipe. I can grease with one hand and wipe the zerks with the other hand. I have a separate grease gun with a flexible hose for the few places I need it. I can grease 95% of the fittings on all my stuff with the rigid pipe grease gun.

X3 on the LockNLube. I zoom through my loader and zd mowers with a DeWalt 20v battery grease gun. Best money I ever spent.

I like the lock'n lubes but growing a "gripping hand" is intriguing

A DeWalt or Milwaukee grease gun (battery), and a Lock-n-Lube, and your greasing issues will become history.
I have always hated greasing, but last year at 79, I finally bought a DeWalt 20V, and Lock-n-Lube.
Greasing is now frustration free!

Absolutely the BEST thing that I did was to replace grease gun tips with LockNload or LockNlube. Don't recall which or something like them. Different ones of each of the 2 guns. Needed both recently. Could not get the one to "lock" in place. Got the other one, and it did.

Real men use an ARO air greaser with a 50 foot grease hose and and a double joint pistol grip gun. Babies use battery powered grease guns. Guess real men have thicker wallets too.

You can differentiate a man from a boy by the price of his toys.

Dragging around a 5 gal. bucket of grease is a PITA for us 'lessor' med

i went lock lube and air powered greaser. my hand no longer hurts, and im done in a 3rd of the time.

 

[PILOON]

YEP, LockNLube is the way to go!
Add a battery grease gun and you'll think you went to heaven.
No more gobs of escaping grease around zerks.
Wife will be happy as your greasy clothes won't contaminate her wash loads.

9x on the lock and lube. It’s made greasing a LOT easier and less messy.

 

[SylvainG]

Greasing my ATV with a standard grease gun wasn't enjoyable so when I read here about the Lock&Lube here, bought one right away. I only used it a few times but I can tell right away that it's much easier to use.

that's what was suggested to me and it works!

I also have a right angle for 2 fittings that are hard to get to.

Yep...Lock M Lube.
