Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Grease guns?

I forgot about my zero turn. It's got some zirc fittings too.

,....lived in the city for 40+ years. Moved back to the country and learned that the tools associated with country living had gone to schitt.

,....Chinese grease guns enny damn way,...

schiiiiiiiiit,..........

Mine’s a Lucas, I think.

Has worked well the last 5 years or so. I dont use it that often, maybe 4 or 5 times a year.

Put one of these on the end and it’ll stay put till you release it,

I have two hoses on mine, helps sometimes.

Call me a conspiracy theorist if ya want to. But I'm suspectin' that the junk Chinese grease guns that are going around have been designed by Dr. Fu Manchu his damn self to destroy American industrial machinery.

It'd be just like him to come up with something like that.

An unwary American pumps the hell out of his grease gun and thinks that everything is good to go.

Two days later his combine takes a schitt.

Come to think of it,..I bet wabigoon has been using a Chinese grease gun on that combine universal joint that took a dump here while back.

He thought he was on top of his game,....ready to cash in and eat Thanksgiving turkey,...then his corn picker took a dump.

Go to an impliment dealer or parts store in farm country ..they make some really nice lock on ends the just plain work...even my Milwaukee and Alimite electric guns the ends are kinda crap...they get replaced on mine..

i have only had one, belonging to my dad, I am sure it dates back to at least the 40's. Always works.

That's a good idea. There's some big implement dealers around here.

I bet they use Lincoln grease guns. I should have asked them.

An older cousin of my friend in high school operated a D9 Cat in Vietnam and was issued an M3A1. Got his one and only kill with it during an ambush on a road when a VC ran around the truck he was taking cover behind and he "greased" him....

Regardless of my rather less than serious demeanor in this thread, I appreciate all the good information. I really *do* need a functional grease gun.

Good info here.

Thanks.

One thing I have noticed on newer equipment is that the zirc’s suck theses days.. they fall out or are loosely threaded. Chinese metallurgy I guess.

+1 on the lincoln
air one is the best
grease a Komatsu loader everyday
at work
5+ tears and still works great

Uncle used a Thompson to good effect in Europe, '44-'45, he seemed to think highly of it. Can't recall him mentioning the M3.

Gone 20 years, I do miss him.

I went thru about 3 before I found one that worked, even then it leaks when it sits in one spot for a long time

Never did care for Lincoln manual guns.

The black crappers sold at John Deere are better....or at least they were.

I'm not doubting it,....but how does one ask the clerk for a "black crapper" grease gun? That *can't* be a brand name.

I'm guessing that it's going to require a definition well beyond the request,........or you're going to get a suppository or some sort.

Loosen the tip. You can adjust them so they aren't too tight or too lose on a zerk.
