I got a couple of 1/4 " zerks missing from the back hitch on my D-17. When I tried to thread new ones in they stripped out. When they were in however, i tried to grease, and pumped, then they popped out.

Sooooo oo, hows about the best way to fix this and get it right?

Thanks a bunch

THE ZERKS MAY BE OF THE TAP IN TYPE.LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE THREADED,BUT THEY ARE NOT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS APPLIES TO AC TRACTORS.

If all else fails go to a good implement or auto
parts store where they have a good selection of
zerks. You can get"drive in styles" in several
sizes or otherwise you may have to retap. Chuck

Wow - I have never heard that term. I always just called them nipples. Learn something new every day.

Thanks!

Before you replace the zerk CLEAN the hole!!!, use a small drill to get the dirt out and then squirt some of your favorite penetrant in to loosen what you couldn't dig out, then pump it FULL of grease.

I have went oversize and also tack welded standard size in stripped hole. Both worked well, you could also heli-coil the holes which would probably be the most proper way. Best of luck.
