how do you grease these cars? do they make an adapter to go to a regular zerk fitting or modern grease gun? do i have to change all the fittings over to modern fittings? if there is an adapter where can i buy them?
thanks
Joe

The grease fittings (Alamite type) are available aftermarket as is the adapter. The guns are usually on e-bays often. The source has been discussed in previous threads here but I don't remember the source. Will look it up and get back to you.

www.Alemite.com show 3 different types of fittings under pin type grease fittings. Also www.mbfittings.com has a list of them. Hope this helps. How many do you need?

May want to try ToolFetch http://www.toolfetch.comAlemite A-908-A 12"Hose W/Coupler F/Pin (1ea) Part # 025-A-908-A This should let you adapt your grease gun to the pin type. I was lucky enough to have my son-in-law find a zerk to pin type adapter for me at Hershey this year. Hope this helps !

I got mine through Amazon.com , just search for "Alemite pin type" and you can see the adapter you can put on your grease gun. They also have replacement fittings. Maybe not the cheapest but you can order when you need it.
Also, more than a year back we got some nice polished caps you can put on those fittings from Don Rossi too.
