Slack adjusters on tracks?
Yesterday I tried to grease my tracks and take some slack out of my tracks and had no luck.:Banghead
When you put the grease gun on the fitting and start pumping in the grease you get 2 pumps in but they are real hard and the 3rd one it just blows out of the fitting on the grease gun. I checked the fitting on the machine and it is not blocked as far as I can tell. It is clean and you can even push the little ball in on the fitting. I tried moving the track and then pumping the track up with the same results. I even had someone in the machine and move the track while I tried to pump the grease in and no luck. So I am assuming the grease fitting is bad. I already looked up the part number and am ready to order new ones Monday morning.
What is your take on this. Anyone here ever had a problem like this before? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Mike
