Every grease fitting I've seen on a Bobcat was 1/8"-27 NPT. Pull one out and measure it it should be about .365" on the small end and taper up to about .390" diameter

A easy way to install a remote grease nipple is to use a grease gun hose, a 1/8 NPT coupler and a grease fitting. However you do it, any 1/8 NPT fitting will fit.

You're talking about Little Nashville. I've never eaten there even thou I live about 9 miles south.
Grease Zerks are also available with standard 1/4 - 28 threads. These are nice if you have a smaller area to work with. I just built an attachment and I used mostly the 1/8 - 27 npt, but in two spots I needed to use the 1/4 - 28 set up.

Like the idea. Wondering how you're going to connect the rod end of the tilt cylinders and the attactment locking pins. These seem to never get greased.
