Bogie greasers

[s-m-h]

I installed the quad bags I robbed from my parts coach today and while I was "picking" I pulled the bogie greasers that had the dual zerks. Took me a
while to figure out the concept but now that I shot some grease threw them, I sorted it out. Pretty cool - I'm sold! Only thing is, only 1 of the 4 I
pulled came out with the brass fitting on the end with the O-ring. I suspect this bit is special order/custom made(correct me if I'm wrong) but I
wonder if it still better than stock to install them even w/o the end bit? I suspect yes, but looking for advice.

TIA for the input.

Stay safe.

My greasers are DIY from here:

I don't recall using O-rings...

The o-rings are kind of important. Sometimes they get stuck on a burr inside when inserting the. You can get rid of the burr by chasing out the hole
with a greased drill. Unfortunately I do not remember the size.

That was the more original on made by Dick S of the Great Lakers.
We market the ones with the flaired copper ends.
All designed to showe grease to the back area and the front.

Thanks fellas.

Yes, I think you are right Jim. The tube on mine are made from sort some of soft metal with threaded ends in which the brass bit with the o-rings are
attached to. I think I will just replace the tube with copper and flare them to match the bore as others have done.

I have been around long enough to remember which design came out first and
why.
There are not many from 1980 that are still around to tell you.
