Hey there everyone, this ones a little bit different I had Saker reach out and send me a locking grease gun fitting coupler to do a product review on.
So I thought of the only way I could thing to make an entertaining video to review the product while still following the theme of the regular content you find here on the channel.
For more information on the grease gun end check out: www.smartsaker.com

Hi, Nathan. Without watching your video, I'm gonna say 104. I've been around them once - or maybe twice. I made it to 98 just from memory - and that memory is from 1978, the last time I operated wunna them. I have NEVER used a locking coupler - never needed one. I always try to use MacNaught couplers which, when you know the trick, are adjustable for wear. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. best wishes. Deas Plant.

I definitely missed a couple that I found in the service manual after I got back home - I’ll get em next time. I’ve never used a coupler before but they sent me one for free to try out so did my due diligence- Thanks for watching

😱 thanks for your time and video. 😁. I need to grease my No.12 8T before winter, I don't think I'll make it this year🥺 before snow flies. The frost has already started leaching itself across the windshields over night and the trees have shed their yellowed leaves to lay down yet another bed. The blades of grass gives way to the fresh deposits of snow's flakes and cold. The penumbra of winter veils itself once again. The crunch underneath each step crescendos to a defining white. Unfurling the truth that not only fall has fallen but that 'winter is here'.

Way more than I would have thought Nathan! 😧 I'm glad that company got ahold of ya. Looks like a good product. Glad to see you're doing well. Take care my friend 🔧🔩

@ironman3406 Год назад

Hey Zane yes There was definitely a lot of pre-work maintenance needed on the old gal, I even missed about 9 or so grease fittings. It is a fair product I’ve used it a few times more since I did the video. Hope you are getting some projects done at your place. Take care buddy, and happy wrenching.

@willsteed439 Год назад

On the bottom of the main drive articulation going into the chain drive carriage is two that get missed often.

@ironman3406 Год назад

Yup those are a couple that I missed when I did this video - thanks for watching

@langdons2848 Год назад

Thanks for making this video. I recently bought a 1954 Caterpillar 212 grader - the little brother to your 12 and I'm going to have to hunt all of those grease nipples down myself soon! That was an education to watch.

@ironman3406 Год назад

Hi there - thanks for watching! I have a 212 also I’ve got some video of it on the channel too, fell free to check them out. Glad this video was helpful. Cheers

@langdons2848 Год назад

@@ironman3406 ah I had a feeling that might be what I was seeing in the background! I'll definitely have a look.

@billlee4838 Год назад

I had the same problem with a different brand of locking grease gun fitting. Rather then hunt for another gun or change the gun fitting, I solved the problem by screwing a grease nipple in the hose end of a standard press on gun fitting. Then just install it on the end of the locking fitting when needed.

@JoeAroner-SIWAYTV Год назад

A fella could sure get tuckered out before starting work for the day. How many times did you have to refill the grease gun?

@ironman3406 Год назад

I went through two tubes - and I missed a few as well haha - thanks for watching!

@apulbroo Год назад

Love the Wabco 440 in the background! First grader I ever ran was a Wabco. I’d like to see more of it.

@ironman3406 Год назад

I’ll see what I can do for content on it once winter is over - thanks for watching, hope you’ll consider subscribing to the channel

@gradyyokeley9930 4 месяца назад

I once greased a 50s model Chrysler or DeSoto that had 38 fittings

@westlake6247 Год назад

I have a 1970 model 120,never counted the nipples,thought I got them all till I had a flat on one of the tandems and while crawling underneath to jack it up I noticed I missed the 2 on the tandem pivot, dammit

@ironman3406 Год назад

Those are definitely a couple of the ones that I missed. Thanks for watching

@Fatamus Год назад

At 21 seconds I stopped the video... My guess without looking is 🤔 96 on the nose 😒 don't hold your breath. Now for the rest of the video. 😁👍

@gradyyokeley9930 2 месяца назад

They are 2 more grease on top of the circle and the rack and pinion of the wheel lean

@mikestewart7338 Год назад

Great video. Thanks

@gradyyokeley9930 4 месяца назад

That's why those graders would last forever, if you kept the maintenance up they will last 100 years

@gradyyokeley9930 2 месяца назад

Your lucky it dont have scarfiers you would have about 8 more I think. I cut my teeth on old Cat graders, my favorite is the 99E, I have opperated G models but the 99E is still my favorite.

Not on something this old - the greaser would be worth more than the whole machine 😂 thanks for watching

@brycewiborg8095 Год назад

Are you sure you didn't miss any? I like your grease gun. Thanks Nathan.

@ironman3406 Год назад

Hi Bryce thanks for watching I’m pretty sure I missed 9

@TMxl-w5t Год назад

I'd assumed, you'd have a cordless grease gun 😉😉👍

@ironman3406 Год назад

It’s on the wish list for tools lol

@mog5858 Год назад

I was surprised how Meany took grease. well buddy you missed some of the tandems pivots.

@ironman3406 Год назад

Yup lol they are included in the 9 I missed haha 😂

@dougkubash8673 Год назад

that is a shit load of fittings! You might be able to thread a 1/8" fitting into the standard couple and use that for the fittings that you can't get with the Saker.

@ironman3406 Год назад

Great idea!! Thanks

@jamessheppard1697 Год назад

If I remember correctly I think I counted 55 or 56. It's been awhile since I've counted.

@jamessheppard1697 Год назад

Maybe 62

@rockeerockey6941 Год назад

I'm not seeing any grease

@ironman3406 Год назад

It was there the video would be three times as long if I videoed every joint squirting out grease. Also as soon as I hear air purging from the joint I stop pumping, the grease finds its way through without pumping a bunch out to make a mess.
