Options depend on what the cause of it not taking grease is.
First do you have good high pressure (10, 000 psi) grease gun to try instead of the common ones that may only be 3,000 to 4,000 psi?
I have had new fittings not pass grease. Apparently the internal clearance was such that the ball moved in and plugged the passage when grease was applied.
If the passage it self is plugged by hard grease and dirt, in beyond the fitting, cleaning the passage with a wire or small drill bit may work to open it. Depending on location heat may help. You can get Impact cleaning tools you fill with fluid (penetrating oil, oil, ATF, etc.) then put on the grease fitting and strike with a hammer to develop a very high pressure, hopefully blowing the passage open. A fluid is better as it will help soften the old material better than grease.
Sometimes you just plain have to tear things apart and manually clean everything, and pump grease through passages while it is apart.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
