Greasing tilt tube

Post by Knotty Cat »

Is a special adapter needed to apply grease to the fittings on the tilt tube? My grease gun will not fit inside the recess around the zerk fitting.

Use a needlepoint adapter from NAPA... part # 715-1215. It is a needle nose adapter that fits on your grease gun. Place the point in the hole in the zerk fitting. You will need a small grease gun or a flex hose to be able to get to the fitting.
