How To Refill Grease Guns Mini, Large, Vintage, or Modern

[@DoingItCheap]

No matter how much I know, the one thing one learns as they grow older, there is always something to learn every day. I have filled a lot of grease guns, but I never thought to pack the head and to unscrew the cylinder a few times to burp the air. Thanks again for your awesome videos !

[@sixtyfiveford]

Grease guns seam to be a thing of the past on anything made in the past 20 years. Good thing I own old stuff so I can keep mine working.

[@WorldPowerLabs]

​@@sixtyfivefordMy personal fleet is from the late 1990s and early 2000s. I've got a mix of "permanently sealed" components and greaseable parts. One truck uses tapered roller wheel bearings, so there's some greasin' with those as well. I'll be sad when these vehicles are finally retired and I no longer have any need for my grease guns...

[@tankerboysabot]

When i was in the army i was a tanker and we used grease guns a lot for track tension and other things. One trick i learned for getting the air out was to hold it by the spring loaded handle and swing it in circles kind of like a softball pitcher but wed do it about 5 or 6 times and that would pack the grease back towards the squirt nozzle and then release the spring handle and good to go.

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's a neat approach. I'll have to give it a shot.

[@kengamble8595]

Yeah, that works too, I'd unscrew it a little and bang the head end on a tire to get the air out.

[@8Jory]

This brings back memories of greasing wash rollers... 1.4km of wash chain, with a pair of rollers every 10cm or so. When they finally got us a pneumatic grease "doser" they called it, it was like a god send. It came on wheels with a 30 gallon steel drum of grease.

[@helicopterjohns]

Thanks for bringing back some memories. I was the purchasing agent for the local public transportation authority for about 38 years. In the early days we purchased grease in 120 lb. drums. We had an air operated grease gun that would easily fill those old grease guns with the fittings on the top. We also used the air operated grease guns in the service bay pits for greasing the fittings on the transit buses. That was a long time ago. Ha Ha John

[@sixtyfiveford]

I'm sure they pumped a ton of grease into those old buses. I'm sure they have 50+ zerks a piece.

[@helicopterjohns]

@@sixtyfiveford Yes, a lot of greasing going on there. Ha Ha The City of Tampa in the late 60's started out with about 60 buses old junkers they inherited from Tampa Transit a private firm. When I retired in 2001 from the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority we had a new modern fleet of 120 Plus buses and not only served the City of Tampa, but all of Hillsborough County. Another memory that still sticks in my head is that back in the late 60's I used to purchase #1 Diesel Fuel, Jet A for 12.1 cents a gallon less taxes as we were exempt from most of them.. By the time I retired in 2001 I implemented a system of purchasing Diesel Fuel Futures Contracts off the New York Stock Exchange. Saved them a ton of money on fuel as I would lock in prices up to a year in advance. Next to salaries Fuel was our biggest expenditure. At that time were using about 21,000 gallons a week, i.e. 3 transport loads. A lot of fueling going on too! Ha Ha John

[@dhikes9331]

@@helicopterjohns Using an air-operated grease gun to fill a hand-held gun thru the top-head fitting turns the grease gun into a "grease grenade". The air-operated pump is usually capable of generating grease pressure up to 10,000 psi, depending on shop air pressure. The grease gun one is holding, usually at chest level or at belly level , has a sheet-metal tube where the grease is going...filling the gun will go quickly until the gun is full - one or two more pulses from the air-operated pump and the threads will strip off the tube or it will burst. Grease, injected into the body, means amputation or death - the human body can not handle massive hydrocarbon injection!!

Thank you for the video! I got my grandfathers old grease gun and for the life of me couldn’t figure it out. Now onto greasing up the old truck! ✌🏼

[@daningram3143]

Fantastic video. I’ve never primed a grease gun before and now I truly have learned that, that’s been my problem many times! Thanks brother!

[@kengamble8595]

Working on the farm in the 60s the bucket type was all we had to fill the guns, probably because it was cheaper ! 😊 Glad to use ones with the cartridge nowadays ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

[@sixtyfiveford]

I will pack them by hand every once in a while to use up the small containers. Cartridges are very nice. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

[@1978garfield]

Now if they would just put grease fittings on cars like they used to. Neither me or my wife's daily drivers have any grease fittings. Also don't forget if you switch from cartridges to vacuum loading you may have to flip the rubber plunger in the gun. Some shops are going back to grease bucket and pump. Bulk grease is cheaper and there is less packaging waste. I love that you don't have a musical intro that wastes time. Thanks for giving us content instead of padding the clock!

[@jaredking3361]

I appreciate you!! Thank you for sharing all of the tricks that make working on things enjoyable.

[@1fanger888]

I always bought the Sears large tubs of bearing grease. Used a putty knife or my fingers to stuff it in the tube. Only problem I had was, trying to avoid getting an air pocket formed under the last bit of grease. Sometimes, out in the yard I would go in the woods and get a green branch and carve the bark off down to the green wood and run that down to pop the air bubble. Oh, happy days! Thanks for the memories.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I've done the same and have fought air bubbles. I'm sure there was an art to packing grease guns without air bubbles.

[@paulgumper]

When I was in the Army we filled them from a bulk bucket. I always enjoyed watching the new guys suck up a gun full of grease and forget to lock the plunger back. Bloop, a big grease-turd on their shiny boots! :)

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's Funny.

[@not2fast4u2c]

Never seen a gun with a grease zerk on it ..I have filled the old ones from the bucket...What sucks is you get the gun full bump the rod and have a big blob of grease plop out on the shop floor

[@robertoswalt319]

[@gordbaker896]

I have an Alemite /Stewart Warner Div. grease gun I just fixed. No on line info for Model 4195. The Alemite fitting on top (Zerk had no Ball on the end) is actually also an air bleed. I remember filling them from the pail and once I left the lid off. Cows licked up half a 2.5 Imp. gallon of grease! Anyone want it for a wall hangar? Before cartridges.

[@mikegoodman447]

Grease gun tip. It's easier to pull the spring back if you loosen the gun tube to allow air in while the plunger is pulled back. Refills leave the gun tube loose to allow all the air to escape. Shops that refill grease guns use a large grease "zerk" in the top of the gun and the fill can has a large zerk as well. A lot more grease can travel through the fittings and the gun is a lot easier to fill. Using a power refill can you really need to lay the gun on the side. When the gun is full the pull back rod falls over on it's side. (The rod stays in and travels back as it is filled, once filled it flops over)

[@BigFarles]

I use your heat on zerk tip all the time. I’m a fan of Lincoln pistol grip guns. I actually bought a new one a few years back. It makes greasing so much easier. I do like your priming tip. I’m going to try that.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Great vid, reminds me that I have to refill my mid 60's(?) Swiss made (think quality watches) Wanner. In the UK we still get 500g tubs of grease with the metal insert that you can push down the open end on that quickly fills the body.

[@Wheelingoffthewrench]

When you twist the rod to get past the piston. Before doing that keep it locked into the piston but unlocked from the retaining catch and press the rod firmly. It will put pressure on the piston which transfers to the air pocket Then pump or pull trigger if powered. The air will escape almost instantly

Great video, grease gun info, and tips, thanks Moe!

[@sixtyfiveford]

[@louwesjeroen]

Here in Europe whe got central lubrication on most of our equipment. Just fill the container once a month or so and the auto system does the job. Whe fill it out of a bucket like yours just with a different fitting. Or with cartridges in a big surringe. I'm using usually a grease gun with screw on type cartridges. Then you don't have to mess with those things anymore. Especially in winter the grease is too thick so you have leave the gun in front of the radiator. Or in summer when they leak all over the place.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Central Lubrication sounds nice.

[@RedHeadForester]

Useful video. I've got a couple of tubes of grease in the cupboard which I bought in anticipation of buying a grease gun, but it looks like the one I found for free probably doesn't take tubes, so I guess once I clean the little patch of rust out of it I'll have to figure out how to get the grease out of a tube and into the gun! Realistically it's the sort of thing I'll use once in a blue moon, hence my hesitation on buying one, but when you need a grease gun you *really need* a grease gun!

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

hey Moe, a long time ago you mentioned how you put the date on stuff when you open or use it. I started doing the same thing, it comes in handy and was a great tip.

[@Goomer]

Good One! I almost always use my mini, tough lying on your back under the truck with a big one, only problem is the grease cartridges always seem to be "eco" grease, cheap for the mini. I'd like to refill the empty cartridges with something better...you got me thinking. Thanks

[@sixtyfiveford]

I hand pack my minis most of the time as well. I've used Amsoil and think it's good but not as good as they want to charge you for it.

[@raywalz4952]

Add a second hose with a coupler to double the hose length on a full size grease gun. This allows you to stay on your back with the grease gun lying on your chest. If you use a lever action instead of a pistol grip it is not as taxing on your grip.With the longer hose, your other hand is now free to reach all of the zerks without the need to hold the gun in the air and fight with gravity. The bonus is you have access to the full size grease tubes and the variety ghey offer.

[@Goomer]

@@raywalz4952 good tip

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Great video, as a reminder to all, don’t mix different types of grease on an application or in your gun.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I used to have a chart printed out describing the compatible greases. Problem is you never know what type of grease the person before you or the factory put into the part. I reached out to U-Joint manufacturers a few times to find out what base of grease they use and some know, others don't. So I just pump everything with Red grease until it comes out red through the seals. Drive it a few days and then pump it one more time for good measure.

[@hikerJohn]

I love this . . . no practicing before turning on the camera, just go for it . . . :o) Where were you when I was a young pup and needed to know all this stuff? Where did YOU learn it all? A Dad? An Uncle?

[@sixtyfiveford]

I had no idea Honda had special zerks. I tried to sell some off a few years ago for 5-10bucks a piece and no one wanted them or were too stupid to grasp the idea of a grease gun. So I decided to just keep them all.

[@fookutube501]

I have a question, what does the number(400/600cc )and so on, mean when buying a grease gun?

[@billyadams9985]

If you pull the head off before you pull the spring back (on an empty grease gun) you dont pull the grease out of the head, and also dont fight suction... Eventually you get to the point where you dont even need to touch the old cartridge.

[@D4x4Bronc]

very informative no wonder it's so messy i been loading them from the bottom instead of the top of the tube! I had a tab one you press down to pull out the rod and it would never pump grease. Was a china one from advance auto. absolute junk been using a free find grease gun for several yrs now with zero problems similar to the one with the zerk on the top. I always wondered why some grease guns wont pump grease...did the plunger fail or was it user error?

[@sixtyfiveford]

I've had a few super cheap mini ones over the years that I've tossed. The cheap ones I think the little piston is so poorly machined it sucks air in and will never pump good.

[@raywalz4952]

Use these guns every week. Use them to lube heavy truck and trailers. Prefer the long lever over the pistol grip. Use three loaded guns in winter months. This allows at least one to keep enough heat to keep from freezing up. Happiness, after all... is a warm gun.

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

I just bought a grease gun and it goes on the fitting good but the coupler leak before it grease anything and the tips is brand new so why is it leaking!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Grease is squirting out the fitting and not into the zerk? The coupler needs pressure to lock onto the zerk. So holding it firm onto the zerk while depressing the grease gun lever will lock it on. While just sitting there it's leaking? I would say your coupler is bad. You can try putting on and off a zerk a few times to see if it seals itself.

Not sure if you're looking for video ideas but here's one, as weird as it is. Do you have any idea why office chair hydraulics always fail after a while, and is there a way to repair the hydraulic rather than replace it? I couldn't find any videos about it and virtually every one of the videos is a form of jamming the rod in the extended position or adding a piece of pvc pipe around it to effectively do the same. There's one video from a company that sells new hydraulics but really the value to repair is barely there. EDIT: There was one video that showed spraying WD-40 on the Piston but doesn't explain why that works.

[@sixtyfiveford]

All the modern chairs are gas charged struts and once the gas has leaked out it will fall. Spraying wd-40 on the ram/shaft will lubricate the seal so it's less likely to leak but I can't see how that would fix them. They are essentially a larger version of a gas strut that would hold up the lift gate of a car or the hood. I have attempted to drill, install a port and refill with gas but it was pretty futile.

[@StrayCatHomestead]

We never have used the term "zerk"... its always been "alemite" fitting since the 1970s in my experience. And I don't when it became zerk!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Alemite is a brand name and the competing company was the Zerk system(both last names of the inventers). Both of these were around starting in the 1910-20's .Neither were used past the 30's though when a new style was invented by Joe Bystricky based on the other two. So neither name is correct and they should be called Bystricky's or just Grease Fittings.
