High pressure grease gun

[dirty harry]

got a few problematic grease nipples that won’t take grease, taken off & replaced nipple etc & still won’t work, but without major surgery to remove pins etc etc
just wandering if anyone could recommend a v high pressure grease gun to try first?
Cheers dh

I’ve had some success with one of those things you fill with light oil and whack with a hammer. The plunger forces liquid in. Worth a try before stripping down machine?

When you took the nipples out did you clean the holes and squirt some brake cleaner in there and have a poke around? Usually cleans ours and just put the old nipples back on.

Yes had a good poke round etc with drill bits & mig wire but didn’t try the degreaser or wd40 idea, will also look at a whacker thingy - just googled up looks handy!
Thanks for replies

Is it possible to jack up item needing grease, to take weight off the pin that needs grease. this sometimes works and nipple takes grease easily.

Tips for getting grease into end of baler roller when nipples have been cleaned? These will obviously do a lot of turning so greasing is a must

Local workshop took nipple of a pin that wasn’t taking grease, they cleaned in with mig wire then heated with gas, put nipple back in and it took grease easy

Christ, I wish I had known about these years ago when I spent most of the Winter keeping a bloody Standen beet harvester going... I learned to grease everything thoroughly at the end of the season, but the "experienced" chap we had on the farm who operated it, had a cavalier attitude to maintenance which tested my patience on more than one occasion!

Combine fettling was almost as bad..

What’s it called so I can search for one or can you recommend a supplier?

Try searching for “treating nipples with something nice”




Or you could just try “grease nipple cleaner”

I got mine from Northern Tool

Heat is a good idea
