Hello Great subscribers! This video is for all the Fathers out there on this special day. This is for those fathers who have or are showing their children all the tricks of the trade on being a little bit more mechanically inclined...Remember dads your kids watch everything you do good and bad. Quote of the Day: ****You have not failed until you quit trying.****
I can appreciate this. Thanks I actually live about a mile from where the guy who invented the grease Zerk. His house was the Zerk mansion and his gate at his house was spelled Dun Movin’. Pleasant Prairie WI. Is where the house is. Kenosha Co. WI
Used to work with an old mechanic that called grease zerks "Alemite fittings". Never heard anybody else call them that. Thanks for the great advice Mike!
Thanks so much! I was about to buy new zerks and considered that they may snap or strip. It took longer to drag out my torch than to fix it on my 40+ year old lawnmower. A big thank you!
Glad to hear Poppy! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your results, we really appreciate it, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Perfect timing then Leonard! Thanks as always for being here with us, we truly appreciate our great subscribers like you :) Have a super day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Right on Alex! Thank you for the view and comment, glad you liked our quote, it's true :) Hope you have a fantastic week my friend, always great to hear from you. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I was talking to my brother in law (late 20s early 30s) he was working under his truck doing what ever. I asked him if he was greasing the zerks. He slid out real quick and looked at me mean and said "aint no jerks under here"! Oh my lord, the mind is a terrible thing. That was an obvious fix that I never thought of. Hell I don't know if any of my NEW vehicles even have them.
I have one that’s giving me a heck of a time. I tried a heating torch right off the bat but it didn’t do the trick. I don’t really want to take it all apart. Now I’m searching through RUclips. Nice little grease gun you have. I suppose I’ll keep using the best trick I’ve found for problems,, persistence.
Sometimes that's all it takes, Travis, is "persistence". Thank you for watching and sharing, hope you have a great week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
You bet! Thank you for watching and sharing Ben, we truly appreciate all of our great subscribers like you, hope your week is the best my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Never thought about putting heat on a zerk. I have seen tools that you hammer to hydraulicly force hardened grease though but I think your way is better.
We call them grease nipples here in australia. Dunno if they are the same as your zerks but grease nipples have a spring & a ball in them & if you heat a spring it weakens them & the ball wont be pushed back against its seat therefor letting contamination in. I think i will just stick with changing the zerk/ grease nipple.
Same to you! We appreciate the view and well wishes my friend, it's always a pleasure to hear from you. Hope you have a fantastic week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Thank you very much Skippy! We really appreciate the view and great comment, makes all we do worth it. Hope you have a stupendous week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I honest to God don't know how you guys do this. Not only does My dad have a dump truck company and I grease The trucks and this happens often, I also literally just spent $50 on a new chainsaw bar and chain, because for the last 5 years mine hasn't been cutting right and no amount of sharpening has fixed it to the point where I decided the bar was bad and someone at Lowe's pointed out that I need to make sure it's getting oil and grease and I did not know that that was a thing. I'm buying that grease gun right now

I tried greasing my casters on an industrial cart & on my welder. Oh, my hydraulic press also has those shielded zerks you know the ones that are a bolt on one side & has a nut with a zerk in the middle with a ring around it. My greasegun wont fit into it. Is there a different size tip for them?

Alemite is a brand name for grease fittings and related items. It’s the same as everyone calling tissues Kleenex.

This worked great on my backhoe . I had one zerk that water pools up in and I haven’t been able to use it for a bit. This worked like a charm
I've got a couple of 4-wheelers with a few jerk zerks....I needed this video....Thanks Mad Hammering Mike!

Are there no rubber O rings in a zirc fitting?
We've never seen them. They seal by using NPT threads which is pipe thread. Thanks for watching Ender. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Oh, I was thinking where the spring load ball seals at the nipple end. Thanks Mike.
We call them grease nipples not zerk here in Australia
