Kubota kx040 grease zerk size

Anyone happen to know the thread size for zerk fittings on Kubota excavators? Specifically the zerk at the end of the stick on a KX040. It's just a tiny bit smaller than 1/8 pipe zerk and it it tapered like a pipe zerk. British pipe thread?

    So the zerks are British Pipe thread. 1/8-28 to be exact.

    You can retap threads to 1/8 pipe

    Good to know. It isn't my machine so I wanted to make sure it was replaced with oem style fitting.
