Lock n lube grease gun fitting

[ruffdog]

Are there cheap import knock-offs being sold that may not be the same diameter as a true LNL?

On my b7800 Kubota i wasn't able to reach deep enough to get the fittings on the lift arms that are right at the operators station so I got on the web and found "zerqs plus" and found some extended length zerqs that fit perfectly and now I can grease all of the tractor, loader, backhoe and all the other impelements with the DeWalt and L&L.

"zerqs plus"???
Or.... "ZerksPlus.com" ???

I recently got a LnL and was able to grease all the zerks on my LS. It is a tight fit on the recesses of the FEL but it did fit. Do you have a build up??? Maybe my loader is a bit different?

If it did not fit, I would not bother using it all. It is a nice accessory but not that nice. Having to use a second grease gun would be pain and most of the zerks that need frequent service are on the loader anyway.

There is no build-up, and I do have other uses for it. I have two manual grease guns, and recently purchased a battery powered Milwaukee M18 grease gun. I have a regular fitting on one of the manual guns, the regular LnL on the other, and the extended LnL on the Milwaukee.

You're right it's ZerksPlus .com. Oldmanitis got me again.

There usually isn't one trick that will always work to free up a grease fitting. You may have to try several of the tricks already mentioned. Some that haven't been mentioned are heating the joint with a heat gun or torch (if you aren't worried bout the paint) and/or tapping the joint with a soft mallet, or just dousing the joint with penetrating oil combined with heat. Recently I had a pin on my FEL that wouldn't accept grease. I loosened the pin retainer and tapped the pin sideways back and forth about 1/4 inch a couple of times. It started taking grease fine.

Left quote out. I also have the extended LnL and it will not go into the loader on my LS. But I have other guns.

I use these zerk covers, keeps dirt, water and other cr*p out of the zerk. Learned about them on off road construction equipment. The ring slides over the head of the zerk and the cup pushes over the head. Mine even have stayed the U-joint zerks and the mower spindles. Picked the yellow color because it stands out. Bought them at Amazon, bag of 50 for $10.99 Amazon.com: LockNLube Grease Fitting Caps (5 Count) (Yellow): Automotive
