You gotta be kidding me

The dealers told me I can't fix the nipple on the canister wheel on the mower where you grease it and I had to buy a $75 front rim and tire on my Walker!!

There were no threads on the nipple and its a pressed versus threaded which people hated.

Who sells rims with the canister under $75?????????

I went to three dealers one was an Exmark dealer.

All this because I bought a cheap Grease gun and it Fuc*** up my nipple. Who sells good grease guns??????

drill it out and put a larger zerk in. Or fill the hole with weld, then drill and tap it to fix a zerk.

Go to your nearest napa. They should have the pressin zerks. 3/16", 1/4", and 5/16". I think its $5 for a 5 pack and the tool is $6 but you can use a 9/16" deep socket if you have too.

Thanks guys means a lot. I got lawns to do tomorrow so I will just unbolt the tire off and manually grease the bearing with a skinny long brush with grease.


What grease and grease gun do you guys use?. I learned my lesson from buying a $10 grease gun with no rubber end.

I'd run it dry before I paid that jerk of a dealer $75 for feeding me that load of crap,
I mean what's next, the tire goes flat so I have to buy a whole new mower?
And maybe he was just trying to be helpful but that sounds a bit deep.

Thou my dealer doesn't carry those kind of zerks either...
All right, anyhow...

What grease and grease gun do you guys use?.

79 cent tubes of grease and $8 grease guns :p
It happens, with the zerks, doesn't matter with the gun but so much.
You might can try, for the gun's extension, a rubber tube one instead of that aluminum extension,
but mostly just try to be as careful as you can, they'll still break once in a bit.

Plews is "The NAME" when you're looking for greasing equipment, that said I've also had good luck with craftman proffesional pnuematic grease guns.
