kioti grease fittings

[chuck172]

There seems to be some confusion on the size of the grease fittings kioti uses. Reading past posts 1/8-28 BSP have the most votes. Is that the size? I'm trying to grease my new dkse, and some fittings won't take any grease.

Take the fitting out then put it on the gun again and try it. Those are british fittings so you are correct.

Chuck, which ones won't take grease? Loader Zerks? You can try ? "unloading" pressure off of the joint by moving the loader to different positions or rest it on the ground. I have never had any trouble with any of them not taking grease. And greasing is so much easier with my LockNlube coupler..

Both grease fittings on the center axle pivot don't seem to take any grease. The loader pins are o.k

Some fitting get painted over during assembly. I had a few like this and scraped the ends with my pocket knife. Once done they took grease. One I had to remove and remove paint from inside the end (soaked in parts cleaner for a few minutes. The all should take at least a little.

I would unscrew them and take a look, Of course check for the painted over as suggested above.

Buy one of those lock and lube adaptors for your grease gun on Amazon and pump the grease in.

When you say not taking grease, do you mean you can't even pump the grease pump handle,like there is an obstruction or are you pumping away and you are not seeing any old grease coming out of the joint? On my CK I have probably put 25 - 30 pumps in the front axel center pivot over time and have yet to see old grease come out. I asked the dealer and he said that is normal, give it a few pumps every time you grease the tractor. Hope this helps.

The grease doesn't make it into the joint, just spills out. The grease fitting isn't clogged. I ordered the locknlube grease coupling. That should work.

Try changing forces on the centre pivot by using the loader to slightly raise the front wheels.
