Make a steel funnel and have a propane torch and just warm the funnel as it goes In, not to the point you separate the grease and it should run in. Do it with liquid grease a lot.

If its wheel bearing grease its should have a high melting point otherwise it would just run out ?

I used a grease gun without the cap. Used like a big syringe, then set machine going and let in a dose through the trough cap.

Mind your feet on the rotors.

This was a Lely/Tulip harrow, and the filling port was the right size.

Was a bloody nightmare when someone decided it was a good idea to sell it in plastic buckets. Just put a gentle heat towards the bucket, and keep rotating.

How long since you experienced the full power of UK sunshine?
I've an old electric hob on a 13amp plug. Ok if you only turn one ring on.
Great for liquid grease and waxoyl etc.

What you need is an old salamander, dangle the bucket over the chimney for a minute or two, it runs like water ☺
