Backhoe Grease Zerk KB2376

[ron45]

I was told by a kioti dealer I needed 1/8 inch pipe threads, this is not correct. The portion of the zerk that looks like a bolt head is METRIC not SAE, Weather or not there are metric pipe threads remains to be seen.

Is there anyone who still has an LK 3054 BH FEL who knows the size of the grease zerks that go on a KB2376 backhoe model?


Thanks for listening
Ron

Covered in depth here more than once. 1/8" British Standard Pipe Tapered, commonly called BSPT. Your Kioti dealer ought to have them in stock.

Or go to Tractor Supply and get a variety pack of zerk fittings...

They do not stock them.

They do not stock them.

Not found in even the typical metric assortments.

Thanks Murphy, So, how does one come in to possession of these illusive zerks? I have the decoder ring and the hand shake all polished up and ready to employ if I can just find the guy that has them. Some kind of identifier would go a long way on my quest for the golden zerk.

At your friendly neighborhood dealer. Ask nicely. Pass on the handshake though as he might think you're queer.

If you can't tolerate getting them from a kioti dealer you can try here:

Not an endorsement; just found them via search engine.

Ron, I started a thread here not long ago about this subject. What I found out is as follows. I have an Kioti NX4510 HST with back hoe and front end loader and needed a Zirk fitting. The thread is 1/8-27 taper NPT. However, the nut part is metric. A bit smaller than the standard nut part found on most Zirk fittings. What happens is the socket does not fit the recessed hole that the Zirk fits into. Buy a standard socket and turn it down to fit the hole the Zirk goes into and your in business. Good luck and I hope this helps. Bob
