What's the best grease gun for getting at all 24 zerks on the 500HO. Also, any recommendations on grease and tricks on getting to all the zerks?

 

I would say get a atv jack(if possible) and remove all 4 tires, everything is alot easier to get to. As far as a gun, any will work w/a flexible hose. You might check out a 90 degree adapter, but it is not necessary. I dont know about anyone else, but I use PowerUp grease.

 

A "Pistol Grip" style really helps..especially those that are hard to reach. Also, a flexible hose is necessary as well. The hardest to get to for me are the U-joint fittings on the front and rear of the prop shaft, but by rolling the machine back and forth until you get it at the right helps a lot. The rear u-joint fitting is best reached by going thru a hole in the skid plate. Don't forget the one on the upper portion of the steering column.

 

Oh, that's an easy one. The M-3A1. The M-3 is also a nice grease gun, but it doesn't have the refinements and ease of manufacture that the M-3A1 does. Plus the cocking levers tended to break on the M-3s.

Seroiusly though. Just about any grease gun with a long, flexable hose and adjustable grease fitting will do the trick. If I had my "druthers" I'd have to say one that works off of compressed air would really be the "hot set-up".

 

If you have an air compressor its an easy one. Go to Wal-Mart and buy the pneumatic grease gun for $29.99 I had to buy a little longer hose but it works great and it takes no time by my self.

 

My personal favorite is the 12volt battery operated one.pricey at$120 but I love it

As okie said.........remove the tires.

 

DUSE....great minds must think alike!!!! I have a Lincoln 12volt gun myself.

 

Thanks for the input, where did you find the Lincoln Grease Gun for $120 I found some from $150 to $170.

 

what i like to do is hook my winch to the rafters and winch it up til its standing on end and you can grease it easy without taking off the tires use a pistol grip greaser

 

Check Northen Hyd. for the Lincoln. I used to sell Industrial supplies so I got mine dirt cheap(sorry). I would check them because they are usually pretty cheap.
