Tighten your bolts

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The day before my "Big Day" on the tractor I bought a pistol grip grease gun ( Love 1 handed operation... ) and a case of grease. I'm now a quick draw greaser! )</font>
I stated out with a pistol grip and an older pump-handle type I've had for years, but there are so many zerks on the loader, tractor and backhoe that I decided to get an air gun from Harbor Freight that works great and is much faster. I think I paid about $12 on sale, and it works very well with the occasional requirement of expelling air pockets that all grease guns get.

I bought a new grease gun today from NAPA for the Kioti at the property. I opened it up to install tube of grease, pulled piston back, installed tube- before I could get top of gun on piston released on its own and expelled 1/2 a tube of grease on the floor. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif Frustrated, I looked on the box and it said Made In China.
My new motto---nothing fina' than Made in China /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nothing like a well lubed shop floor to do your work on.

In all fairness now, are you sure you had it locked in good, didn't hit the locking lever accidentally? Mine is from China also, and is made pretty well. I've done what you did, but it was my fault as I hadn't ensured that the lock lever was locked really well. You need to push back on the handle after you pull it out to make sure it can't let go.
