Grease nipple size for Case580k circa 1990

rdavison39 ยท 2020-09-22 11:38

I have a grease nipple on the boom that broke off - are there standard sizes for grease nipples for this machine (like 1/2")? I'm not near my backhoe at the moment (otherwise I'd remove and measure) and would like to pick one up to replace before I head back up to the farm - any insight would be appreciated! Thx Ron

    1/8th inch (NPT) pipe thread. It's a plain ole run of the mill zerk. Available in several different angles
