[QUOTE="silver, post: 311287, member: 1953"] Numpty's got it, it's a grease nipple on top, and that top section will screw on and off of that bittom section with a fine thread, they used to fill the cups with grease in the old days, and when sevicing whatever machine it was attached to, the person on shift would give it a couple of turns to push some grease through, being that it ggas a nipple on it as well, I'd say it was on a machine that was putting pressure vack through towards the nipple ,.... that's why it has a grease nipple, so it can be unscrewed without removing, and still be able to be filled while attached ,.... sort of like the old ones on the old cement mixers, except they dont have nipples cause you can just take them off and fill them with grease while the machine is stopped. Here's mine on my old cement mixer [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1953/1487743906_20170222_160955.jpg[/img] oops, needs greasing before I use it hey. :D [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1953/1487743964_20170222_161025.jpg[/img] all good, I still gotta get a good n proper electric motor for it first anyway. :Y: [/QUOTE]
