A grease nipple, also known as a grease fitting or Zerk fitting, is a small metal fitting used to provide a means for lubricating machinery and mechanical components. It allows for the injection of grease into bearings, joints, and other moving parts through a grease gun. The nipple typically features a ball check valve that seals the fitting when not in use, preventing the escape of grease. This component is essential for maintaining the longevity and proper function of various mechanical systems by reducing friction and wear.

How does Massey Ferguson 300 dozer track tensioner work?

The tracks are adjusted with a grease gun. You have to find the grease fitting on the track frame and also the bleed needle and seat bolt. These will be buried in mud so you will have to go digging for them. They are on the idler wheel fork. Once you have found them, (the bleed bolt is on the side and the grease nipple is on the top) crack the bleed bolt and pump in grease trhough the gease nipple, once the track is adjusted, do the bleed bolt back up, and that should be it.

How do you tit en tracks on bulldozer?

Assuming the question is how to tighten tracks on bulldozer: The idle sprocket (non-driven) on a two sprocket bulldozer is responsible for the tension on the tracks. Commonly the sprocket is connected to a tension cylinder that exerts hydraulic pressure by being pumped full of grease via a grease-gun. To tighten the tracks the operator needs to locate the grease nipple for the tension cylinder, and pump in more grease until the desired tension is achieved.
