Being informed that you've been saying and/or spelling something wrong is not a criticism, it is an opportunity to learn and grow.

Now you know how to pronounce and spell "zerk" properly. Do with that information as you will. Just don't be surprised if you continue to stubbornly use "zert" that someone else does not inform you that it is "zerk" somewhere down the road, at least once.

By the way I suspect Oscar Zerk did in fact name the fitting after himself, to differentiate it from the others on the market at the time.

Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

Just wondering..did Mr. ZERK call the grease ZERK a ZERK? Or did he just call it a grease fitting? If he was awarded a patent for it in 1929 then I'm sure he's over it by now...maybe a lesson to be learned here. :)

Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine, Mr. Oscar U. ZERK, inventor of the Alemite grease ZERK would like you to call his invention by the proper name. He was awarded a patent for the zerk January of 1929.

A quick google of Zert results in Z.E.R.T., "zombie emergency response team" which was created for some reason in Las Vegas in November 2011, but sounds like lots and lots of adult beverages were consumed in creating the group. But has absolutely nothing to do with lubricating anything.

DR, I also picked up on the ‘zert’ thing only because my grandpa would use the same pronunciation. When I was a young lad I was a voracious reader of farm magazines and all types of mechanical reference literature. Every time I came across the word zerk I was sure they were mispelling it with a ‘k’ instead of a ‘t’. Later I found out it was his German accent that most likely caused his mispronunciation. Absolutely no offense meant to bass in anyway.

Those are sealed cartridge bearings.
You have to take 4 bolts holding the 2 "rims" off
& pry the halves apart. The bearing is held in by
pressure from the 2 rims.

We've gotten the bearings from Shoup. 2 different
lengths---measure yours.

Looks like there were 2 styles used on the 268. One was a sleeve style bushing. It had a castle nut and cotter pin to hold it on. The other used a double row ball bearing and appears to not use a nut on the axle. The sleeve had a grease fitting while the ball bearing appears to be sealed. The bushing style has a grease fitting, the other not.

As you said, yours looks like the sealed style.
