Greasing my Chinese Mini Excavator 👍🏼 | Mini Excavator Philippines | Ep. 02 | TORINO

I've been having some problems greasing my Chinese mini excavator, which is also called "buttering" in the industry. The manually operated grease gun that came with the machine was terrible, so I bought an INGCO battery-powered gun. I also bought some other accessories from Lock-n-Lube.
I think I need to replace the included Zerk fittings on the machine with longer ones. That way, they'll work with the plastic dust caps I want to use and with the Lock-n-Lube attachment.
I tried using some metric Zerk fittings, but they had coarse threads that weren't compatible with the TPI on the pins. I did manage to use a SAE Zerk fitting with a -27 thread. I was able to pump grease with no problems, and the Lock-n-Lube attachment worked great.
I'm taking a break to cool down and think about what to do next. I need to get some more 27 TPI Zerk fittings with longer nipples.
* You can thank Oscar Zerk and his 1923 patent for this special fitting. The process for maintaining such lubrication has advanced somewhat, but it was Zerk that created a design that made truly meaningful improvement. Early cars were lubricated like machines, by manually slathering grease where it was needed. source: www.hagerty.com
