[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 47396, member: 82"] It is a silly design isn't it? At least the attachments i have seen without grease nipples ran nylon bushings. You can make it greased if you want to. If you have access to a lathe, chuck it up and drill a hole from the end with the washer, drill it so its just over half way though. Drill one or two small cross holes half way down at 90 degrees to the one you did before. This will allow grease to run from the end of the pin down and into the middle of the pivot point. You don't need it very large in diameter, 1/8” is all you will need. I have made long drill bits for this exact purpose before, get a piece of bar and silver silder a drill bit to it when holding one end in the 3 jaw chuck and the other in a drill chuch in the tail stock. Countersink the end where you are putting the grease nipple so the end is protected and thread it for the nipple. If its not clear, i can try and explain it better. Sorry that i answer things and cause you more frustration :) my bad! [/QUOTE]
