Re: Driveshaft spline cover (what the heck?) Reply #25 – June 14, 2018, 01:57:29 pm Check the grease gun pressures. As I remember, there are a couple fittings up front that take a lot of pressure to force the grease in. The air guns are great but I think some of the hand operated guns can generate more pressure. Year after year, HF stuff gets better and better. Their $19 "sawzall" with the twist to remove the blade is outstanding. I have the real deal but use the HF version most of the time. 4x24" belt sander abrasives are also a good deal as are rolls of DA disks.Pierce Quote Selected

Re: Driveshaft spline cover (what the heck?) Reply #29 – June 16, 2018, 01:22:25 am Ken, glad you got the spline cover back on... Good job. We carry two separate grease guns and use long flexible hoses so manual gun can lay on ground, while I press handle down against ground with one hand and hold hose on fitting with other hand.

The ones I've seen are only 14" or so. Seems like you would need about a 3' one to reach from the ground to the highest zerk fitting.see yaken Quote Selected

Re: Driveshaft spline cover (what the heck?) Reply #33 – June 16, 2018, 11:28:14 pm To extend grease gun hoses, I use several of the only size I find, which pretty normal, THEN connect them together with a short brass 1/8" NPT female/female coupler. Quote Selected 1 Likes
