I recently bought a new machine(new to me) & I do not know how to tighten the tracks. I am used to just using a grease fitting to adjust tracks but this machine has something different. Check out the picture I included. Any info on what this fitting is would be very beneficial as the tracks need tightened up. Thanks in advance!
That's a button head grease fitting, you should be able to get an adapter for your grease gun at a good parts store or online.
Never heard of those. I appreciate it
I should have said coupler instead of adapter, also you may be able to swap in a standard zerk nipple depending how it's set up. Cheers
Alemite makes them. Maybe also Lincoln. You probably need to know the diameter of the button. I seem to remember there being 2 sizes of button. The Cat tool (nozzle) for filling rollers and idlers with oil also uses a button fitting.
Remove it, drill and tap a hole in the end and fit ordinary zerk. Simples
Button head is usually the same fittings on the rollers, easy to clean. My lil deere dozer used the flat faced fittings like that.
