Need help with grease fitting size on la 1154s loader

[243ackley]

It is the fitting right below #100 on the end of the cylinder that attaches to the links. Can’t find part number anywhere and kubota dealer does not know.

thank you

Buy a part number 75599-81521 grease fitting which is number 50 in the diagram.

See if it fits. Then buy more if it works out.

I would assume all the grease fittings would be the same on that implement but assuming is not the best method.

I would stop in my local Tractor Supply and pick up a container full of zerks - one will fit and you will have several left for future use.

OR take one off the other side and go into the store and match it up.

Can't you just order #050 from the parts list. They should be all the same.

 

[Russell King]

Maybe see this diagram and get item 55? It is a different part number from the item #50 suggested above.

To the rescue, it's shown on the cylinder parts, part #80, metric M8 or 1/8" NPT pipe. Buy an assortment, you own a tractor, time to start accumulating parts and tools .

What I ended up doing was searching the internet and Ebazon for zerks to get an idea of how many different threads there are.

Then I searched for "kits" that contained ALL of them with straight, 90 and 45 degree fittings. Maybe had to be several kits, too far from my parts shelf to check. There were a couple places on the BH swing pivot that were almost impossible to get to with the factory fittings, so put in a 45.

Gotta be careful as the threads are very similar but DO NOT interchange. Properly. You can jam them in, sometimes, but will never seal. So I've been told of course.

Sort of comical how the ads at the bottom of the page "mimic" the topic being discussed. Are you using red grease? There was a picture of white shorts covered in red spots. I tried to get a screen capture, but the website prohibited that.

The LA844 FEL on my MX5100 has SAE threaded zerk fittings and the MX5100 has metric threaded zerk fittings. I asked my dealer about why that was and he said my FEL was manufactured here in the US. Unknown if that is true.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I have been to the dealership 3 times and they could not find the right one. I even had them pull one off a loader on the yard to try to match it up.

i just ordered a big box of zerks, removal and rethread tools, and a zerk size gauge.

I live 1 1/2 hours from my place so pulling one out is risky because I might not get back up there for several weeks and they guy that helps me uses my tractor a few times a week.

The reason I never could get the right one from the kubota store is they thought it was M8 but when I pulled it out and measured it the threads are actually 3/8-24.
