Reaching recessed grease Zerk, requires going through hole in heavy metal support panel.
Once a grease connector is on grease Zerk, it can be a major struggle to pop it loose.
Solution is:
1) Lock-n-Lube grease connector (or similar) which has lever to open connectors jaws which grab Zerk.
2) 1/8 MPT / FPT street elbow.
3) Replace standard grease connector with street elbow, then screw Lock-n-Lub grease connector on street elbow.
Combination will work on all daily (every 8-hours of use) grease Zerks.
Combination makes it easier to reach Zerks on top of Tilt cylinders at front and Zerks on pivots of Quick attach arms.
For those who want to keep their standard grease connector. Pickup a short grease hose which has a Zerk fitting on one end and standard grease connector on other. Replacing standard grease connector on short hose with aforementioned combination.
Should you find this useful, buy somebody a coffee (or beer).
