Broken grease fitting

[rd_macgregor]

I managed to break a grease fitting on my FEL bucket pivot. Are these easy to replace? Are they standardized, or do I have to buy a specialized part?

They fairly standard, I broke one last week got a bunch of replacements from TSC, got a 10 pack, mine where 1/4 or 1/8 pipe thread. just take broken one out, and match the Thread size, and then replace.:thumbsup:

Mine has some that seem to be metric size so I just get a few of each, sae and metric, and use the one that fits best. I guess you could always go to a dealer if you didn't want to buy an assortment.

I have broken one as well as replaced several that would not accept grease. I have a few on hand so it is very easy and cheap to replace them. Good idea to have a few on hand as they do seem to plug up every once in a while, much easier for me to change one out then playing around trying to unplug it. I have found them very easy to change.

Thanks for the replies.
I stopped by my dealer's this morning and they gave me a replacement fitting. I was there to order a new throttle cable, since mine broke last night. At least the hand throttle still works, though loader work is pretty busy using the hand throttle.
Maybe I'll go mow instead.

There was a post on here some time ago about how the Kioti had odd fittings so I went out and bought some of the size recommended, just in case I busted one. Well I busted one inside the FEL pin and that one turned out to be a standard old big US grease fitting that comes in your Harbor Freight assortment. Perhaps the FEL is made here in the states and the fittings on the rest of the tractor are odd metric size.
So far it appears that I bought those other fittings for nothing.
