BX25 Stuck Grease Fitting

[k0ua]

If the grease fitting seems bigger in diameter than the rest of them on the tractor, and you dont want to have to keep loosening your grease guns tip, why dont you take a dremel tool with a fine grinding stone to the outer (fat) part of the grease zerk? It would only take a minute, or go buy a new zerk and replace it?

It would seem to me that Kubota would be aware of this zerk issue by now. Greasing the fittings should be a no-brainer on any piece of equipment, not a whole process that involves chipping paint, special tips for the gun etc.

I don't know about that...Might ruin the zerk...

Thanks for the info! That won't be necessary. :laughing:

How does that work? Does it fit into the little whole in the center of the zerk? I think we might have one in a kit we got.

Just push in the tip on the tiny ball and hold pressure against zerk while pumpimg grease.

OK, I'll have to try that...

Same question as you CTF for Deano - just what is that thing and how's it used? Haven't had to grease my backhoe yet since I haven't used it. It's sleeping in my shed until Spring arrives. At least after reading this thread, I'll be on guard for belligerent grease zerks.

CHD, We use them when we need roller bearings pre-greased, they work great for shooting grease to the back of the bearing, just stick the pin thru the rollers, and pump away! Usually leave the zerk tip on the gun hand loose, so it can be changed to the needle tip as needed. Our Fastenal stores supply our area paper mills with this item FYI. take care Joel
