where abouts? Y have to make sure they wont interfere with anything inside. Its not too hard- just drill a hole slightly smaller then the tap, tap it out, add a lil threadlocker to the zerk n tighten it down.

I bot the zerks first, then a tap - i used the tap in my electric drill . You can use zerks in any metal .

I need to figure out where to put them on my tranny. I want one on the input shaft too! Never done it before though

I was looking for somewhere to put one on my transaxle - everything was just too close to the case or unacessable from underneath .

I think ill do that to more of my transmissions - i found out today i bot some of that heavy duty grease ( like the green wheel bering grease ) for the grease gun- that stuff should work awsome in the transmissions- better then the red stuff cause its super thick.

When my tractors come due for maintence ill start adding zerks to em- better put more of those on my list- im almost out of em!

It's really my input shaft I want to do. Im not sure how easy it will be though. Need to make sure it's all really smooth inside still. Probably will have to cut the nipple down a bit too.

dont cut too much off the zerk- theres a tiny spring and ball in there- it keeps the dirt out and the grease in- if y could find a small nut to lock it down before it goes too far in would be okay.
