Stupid zerk fittings/pin grease on Branson 2810 with BL-10 FEL

[Unclewillie]

Just for the heck of it, while I was shopping for other stuff I checked around in my little town of 2,880 people for 8 X 1.25 metric zerks. 3 stores had a full range of metric zerks, The auto parts dealer, the Mahindra/Case tractor store, and a farm supply store. However two of the stores only sold them as part of a box of 50 or so assorted metric zerks for around $40 to $70. I could buy them singly at the auto parts store (NAPA) if I needed just one.
We may not have a decent place to eat our town, but we do have 8 X 1.25 metric zerks. These small farm towns have their priorities

picked up some at harbor freight ,actually one of the men in the Mahindra dealership shop told me that's where they buy theirs. Around ten bucks for around fifty about ten that I could use out of the lot.

You are right Willie. One of the straight fittings on the brake linkage on my Branson was next to impossible to use because a frame member is in the way. I saw the box of 32 assorted metric zerk fittings at HF for $10. Their size listing is incomplete (only tells wrench size) but I bought it anyway. In it there are 14 zerks that fit my Branson. I installed a 45 degree zerk that solved my problem.
Those 14 zerks cost only around twice as much as a single zerk would cost at NAPA.
