Greasing the upper pin zerk on backhoe???

[drizler]

I have a Massey ( Isseki) backhoe on my tractor. I'm curious if there's a better way to get at that grease fittings thats buried deep inside the top of that first vertical section of the hoe arm. The one that said the top of the cylinder. That beast is buried way in there and naturally it had to tighten at the factory little bit off center so it's a monster to try to find let alone get that gun on.add to that that nylon strap things floating around in there in front of it and it's so deep you can't really get at it with anything and see what you doing due to the small hole and depth. So I havent greased it much like the rest of the pins just because I really can get a hold of it to put any grease in. Is there any dirty little secret or fix for this problem I have to live with this thing like this . I use it a lot compared to most folks.

Hey maybe post a photo so that folks (like me) who don't have that backhoe can see what you're up against?

Can you get to the zerk to remove it? Some of my equipment I have installed high pressure hoses (like what the grease gun uses) with a union and zerk.

I'm also pretty sure that Lock N Lube makes extended grease fittings/hoses for remote access if he doesn't want to build his own.

I think I just found an easy solution. $7 amazon

Don't know where you are, but around here the auto parts stores and farm stores stock those.


This is the LockNLube extended and standard lock on coupler:

Great find for front ball joints on ford 1 ton 4x4. Boss V plow wears these out. At 1000 dollars for dealership fix- I can crawl around and grease them with this. Thanks
