2010 Track Roller grease fittings

[wildbill65]

My track adjustment fittings have been changed to accomodate a regular grease gun, however, the track rollers still have the original fittings.

Is there a grease gun nozzle I can purchase to be able to service these rollers, or can they be changed to a regular grease fitting?

Sure would like some advice on this. I don't want to neglect them any longer than necessary.

Thanks to all.

Hi Bill- suggest reading the following threads on button head fittings:

There are more threads on this- this is just a sampling

BTW, typically you would not want to switch to zerk fittings (standard fittings) because they can break off if rocks get caught in the rollers. That is why they came up with the button head fittings.

It is not as big a deal on the hydraulic adjusters to have zerk fittings because they are usually up out of the way of the rocks you would be pushing. However I wasn't aware that the hydrualic adjusters on the 2010s came with button fittings- all of my 2010s have the zerk fittings.

I normally stock the gun end as well as the button head fittings.

Tigherhaze, I just made a guess about the adjuster fittings.

Thanks for the threads. I picked up some corn head grease at JD dealer and a 5/8" button head nozzle at my local NAPA.

The wife still has me working on the front porch in my off time. When I finish the honey-do's, maybe I can get back to the dozer. Right now I'm gathering up supplies.

I'll give Lavoy some business if these button head fittings give me trouble.

I apppreciate your help.

When I finish the honey-do's....

Good luck! In our household either I add to the list or someone else does, so out of necessity we just assigned the dozer a number, and other projects got in line.
