Need small diameter grease gun head OR longer fitting

[RalphVa]

I've a fitting somewhere that goes onto a regular grease gun. It's used to lube fittings on universal joints that are too small for a regular gun tip to go onto. Don't know whether they make them any more.

There is times when the wind do blow in Southern Alberta!

I spent several years down there and it blew the hair right off'n my head.

Sometimes it even moves the big round bales.

I forgot about the round bale thing and I cut hay. I once saw an aerial photo from Alberta that showed the tracks make by round bales after a major storm. You could see where they rolled for a great distance--maybe miles? Would be a great photo for this site.

Actually I posted photos of that several years ago.It was down near Medicine Hat I believe. Looked for the pictures today but could not remember where I stored them.

That is the exact photo and one of the reasons I jointed this site. Great photo.
I once got behind an Airstream travel-trailer convoy on it's way to Medicine Hat. Seemed like thousands of them and I couldn't pass no matter how hard I tried. I know the backside of an Airstream real well.

1/8 pipe nipple and a coupling brought one of mine out to where I could at least see it .

Thanks for the ideas. the pipe and coupling ideaa will work and the websites offer similar longer grease fittngs that will work as well. I happened to stumble into a well-stocked hardware store and found longer grease fittings as a commonly stocked item in the bins. It's just a real long grese fitting but will work just fine.
Probably not a common item everywhere but at least they are out there if one looks hard enough.
