Oregon 45-259 is a sealed bearing. How does the grease get in the bearing from the zerk?

I am not sure that the bearings are sealed. I have not looked at mine to see if they are sealed. The seals on the inside of the bearings should be removed, this will allow the grease from the zerk to get into the bearing. Hope this help.Joe Storey

No clue how it gets in but it came ready to install. Already many cuts and not a problem. Will be getting another as a back up for the last original one.

That's a good. ? Lol. I'm a tech of 10 + years and I never greased. I just push the ball of the fitting down and pour a few drops of lite oil in it.

It called Hoppe's #9 Precision Sportsmen's Lube used for Firearms, Archery Equipment & Fishing Reels. It's a light lubricating oil ( a bit like 3in One oil) Usually a light type of grease is used on most type of ( metal) bearings.. A solvent would remove any type of oil...or grease.

While I have always used the packaged tube bulk grease should work fine the plunger has enough material to make a good seal.

Basically older bikes have ballbearings in the fork tube. This is an alternative that consists of sealed bearings so there's no fuss with grease.

The reference to oil is sort of misleading. The "O" ring in the piston pump needs to be protected from drying out, specially if it is stored and not used. They really should have labeled it Grease because it helps keep the piston plunger O ring soft and supple to make a tight seal in the piston tube. The pump actually pumps air into the container to pressurize the tank containing your selected chemical mixture. Since the "O" ring is not lubricated by any fluid it can dry out and not make a proper seal. If you google "solo handheld sprayer lubrication" there is a link to a PDF from forestry-suppliers on the 400 series sprayers that says "Lubricate O-ring in pressure relief valve with non-water soluble grease on a regular basis. Petroleum Jelly works fine! On the Solousa.com site under support, handheld sprayers, service & repair there is more info on the care and maintenance of these sprayers along with instructions. But they really should have labeled it GREASE and Not OIL!

My recommendation is a Dielectric Auto Tune-up Grease by "Permatex,"or a White Lithium Grease (spray can) or a Marine tube type used for outboard motors/trailers. Basically, a water proof/resistant type grease. If I remember correctly, the Mfr. had a preference for the auto tune -up grease. WD-40 lubricate is a fine product and will displace water, however it will wash awayfrom the interior O-rings found in the water nozzles. Perhaps, this may assist you.

All three of mine came with grease fittings. As Vincent Puopolo commented, they come with sealed bearings, so I don't see the point of grease fittings. I greased them anyway, as it may help dissipate heat.

This is food grade grease that goes in the head area of the mixer. Once you remove the head cover you clean the old grease off of the gears and put the new grease on the gears. Check the internet there are good videos to show you how to perform this task. As stated in a previous answer there is enough grease to for several repacks.

I placed the grease in a glass tupperware and stored it in the refrigerator. I did not use the container it came in because the containers came with it partly leaked. I just placed my second order and am hoping they fixed the packaging issue.

This product is not a grease, it is a compound to put on the threads of bolts so you can get them off later. Sounds like you need an actual grease. I'd suggest you check the PTO manual or contact the dealer to find out which grease they recommend for your PTO.

I have found no places where bearings can be lubricated on my fan. I assume then that the bearings are sealed.

Moog K8607T Ball Joint. The grease fitting may need to be removed depending on your application, and dust plug reinstalled after greasing for service. Not enough clearance otherwise for the u-joint on my 1997 Dodge HD 2500 4x4. Works great.

Yes, a small tube of it. They also have zerk fittings and a hole drilled in the bushing to grease it in the future.

Hi Mike, Great Question - I checked. The grease nipple is inserted into the top of the shaft and hole for the grease extends past the top bearing and is cross drilled below the top bearing. The grease fills the cavity between the upper and lower bearing. The lower bearing has no seal on the top side thus it would be lubricated and the grease would also help to keep the water and dirt out. The top bearing has seals top and bottom. I hope this helps.

Depends on how dirty. Old grease took a Pressure washer. the other did not. Hope that helps.

When the unit arrives it is not lubricated with oil or grease. I always store the bearings and blades in food grade oil. The first little bit of the ground meat has black residue from the bearing. This is normal. I always discard that portion. I am not sure as to whether it would be ok to consume or not, but it doesn't look appealing. Hope this helps.
