Thread: grease nipples

yep, my Rover has a few right angle ones so they do exist. I use a flexible hose on the end of my grease gun to get to the tight areas.

Yes right angle grease nipples exist, try bearing shops.

Thanks for your imput fellas but as yet I cannot find any australian source for these Knock in in grease nipples, sometimes called drive in or press in or zerk.

Its amazing how manufacturers will save a few cents on tapping a hole and put the customer in a bad position.

I have found the part numbers Alemite 1744
and lincoln 5318 but no supplier yet.

If anyone can assist I'd appreciat it.

When you say knock in... does that mean that there not screw in type ?

have a look here

Cheers

Hello myf360f1, Yes thats the story no thread just a few rings (like threads)
to create an interference. A way to save on manufacturing costs.

Such great forsight a straight nipple under the floor pan pointing at the cutting deck and only about 2" above the deck. I doubt even a flexible connection would bend sharp enough.

This and a few other little things spoil what is a powerfull and efficient machine, It will rocket along at about 10 kph.
