Grease Zerks?

   / Grease Zerks? #31  
Maybe not on every zerk, but I have some that routinely are a problem, mostly on the backhoes where there is a lot of dirt contact. I'm going to try a few.

Me too. On my JD5520, there are fittings on top of the axle that require grease only every couple hundred hours and are bathed in dirt. They face up so a rubber snap cap makes sense to me. It's not a problem for any of us to remove them except in maybe a high frequency grease application but there are many applications where they make sense.

A zerk fitting disappeared from it's hole when I tried to grease it. I found it last night, in the end of my grease gun.
