Brian, a quick question for you....

Were you discussing the unique quality of the grease nipples on the fire tender at one stage? Namely that they had a flat top instead of a 'nipple' profile, and that the grease gun connection would have to slide onto it?

I've had a look through this topic but can't find any mention. That said, if you are looking for such a connection, I found one today in my toolbox in a pile of old sawdust. :lol1:

Steve, it's been some years since my old 1965 Mobi's toolbox has been opened, therefore the sawdust must be quite old. :dontknow:

And as far as I'm concerned. All Grease Nipples Matter..... :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:
