Original Equipment Grease Gun #TY26517

It does the job. It’s the first time I am using a grease gun, so I don’t have any reference comparisons. The fitting can be a bit difficult to remove, but on the other hand, you don’t want it to leak either. It comes off by wiggle it in different angles.. eventually. It’s a learning curve... Other than that, it does the job well. I use it to grease my tractor mower.

Got this for greasing a new John Deare mower. I never used a grease gun before. The instructions for setting it up and clearing out air were detailed and lengthy. Took me a good while, mainly just from me trying to understand how it worked and get familiar with the process. Could do it in 10 minutes next time. Once I got it set up it worked really well. Some folks have mentioned it was hard to remove the nozzle from the connection after applying grease, but followed the instructions to tilt and wiggle and it came off no bother. Can't compare to other grease guns since this is my first, but this thing is solid as a rock. All the metal parts are good thick steel. My guess is will last forever.

The grease gun is working well. 2 months in will NO LEAKAGE. So far it has been great. Mine is a genuine John Deere, mine came in genuine John Deere packing. The instructions are simple, but adequate, except for the coupler described below. If you have used these before you will have no issues, if you have not: YouTube. One exception, the nozzle end is extremely tight and will not come off the fitting as shipped. What you will find, the nozzle has a steel hex fitting, with a stamped steel end cap that has a noryl (texture). These two pieces are separate and thread together. The amount it is threaded on sets the tension of the jaws. This part is shipped with this adjustment completely closed and torqued. You will need to break this loose and then adjust accordingly. I found mine had to be extremely loose to allow it be removed, but you will have to adjust it once you have it locked on the zerk to seal properly then adjust it again to release it. Based on all of the hassle described above, I did buy a LockNLube from Amazon. It works much better. In closing, the grease gun a great product, everything on the gun works great, no complaints. Except for the coupler, which does not seam to work as well as others I have used, though it could be user error.

Gracias

After returning two others - This one is quality - what more to say.

Works good untill you want to take tip off the grease insert. Super super hard to take off

I like that this grease gun came with easy to follow explicit instructions for setting it up. I also like that there is an air release valve and tips in the instructions on its use. I was able to grease my John Deere lawn tractor with no problems!

If you dont know now to properly grease a product, might be a bit clumsy... but after 5 minutes - you should be fine. Good for veteran or newbie, gun seems to be a well fab'ed, been using it on my 100 series JS tractor. Would recommend.
