PDC Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I will be doing a 6 week inspection on my trailer tomorrow and I too will feel your pain Actually I have just decided rather than go round all three workshops looking for a good one i'm going in the stores to get a brand new one, with a brand new end and putting a brand new grease cartridge in it ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britainswomble Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Here you go http://www.sealeyonline.co.uk/cpg12v-cordless-grease-gun-12v.html Nice looking grease gun and a great idea. BUT....... you still have to fill it up. I hate it at work if someone else has filled up my grease gun...... it's usually half full of air. The technique for filling a gun from a bucket is to hold the plunger still and push the barrel down into the grease. When you lift it to complete the fill.........DO NOT lift it out of the grease....... just slide it across and do the same again. When you have SECURELY locked the plunger into the holding slot; make sure the grease is air free at the end and slightly domed. Screw it on to the pump loosely and release the plunger lock. This will force out any air from the gap in between both halves. Then tighten it securely. You should be able to use the gun without any air locks. I don't like cartridges as they are expensive and dont hold as much grease as a fill from a bucket. I had a cheapie "Pro-Am" air powered gun and that was a pile of sh*te. I worked well until grease started spraying out of the vent on the power cylinder. Badly made junk. A good quality one would be an investment.

There was a Ford 3000 on the buckrake, and two of us on the clamp forking it out by hand. (A 4000 on the forager and a Fordson Major and another 3000 running two Wheatley three ton trailers. ) I'm not sure if it's true; but I was always told that long chop grass held its nutrients better than precision chop grass.

The one I am using is a Sealey, al though only a manual one it has done enough to warn me away from any other Sealey grease guns. As did Draper, Spaldings and numerous market stall beauties As for bucket filling, no way. Been there, done that and got it everywhere. Quite possible to get more in with each fill but the cleanliness, handyness and quickness of the cartridge makes it far superior for the higher price tag. Especially when at the field.

Lord Ferguson Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Ditto that.... William what are you thinking of you 'erbert... do we look like the kind of lads who want to fill from a bucket of grease when we can change a cartridge on our way to church of a sunday.. in our best whistles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Do you know what, I havn't been up there for a year or two now. It wasn't painted out last time I went anyway, sounds like a Whetherspoons now My mate went in there ten years ago to try and woo his girlfriend back. Fairplay to him, he went dressed as a Jester. . . . . . . . . only he forgot Wednesday nights are biker night. She wasn't impressed, he was laughed out the pub, I had to go in afterwards to get his car keys! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
