Dillon Grease Needle Fitting

[centershot]

I watched one of Dillon's videos on maintaining a 550B loader, it says to use a needle adapter on your grease gun to go into the bearing holes on the machine. Does anyone know what they are talking about?

I don't have experience with a Dillon, bit this is what I would call a grease gun needle adapter:

No. That comes on the "C" model.

No. That comes on the "C" model.

Ah. I have a 550 but dont know much about the model differences.

I bought the conversion that gets me the zerk fitting... I recommend getting that... because it's more better.

I pretty sure this is what they're talking about. Attaches to grease gun hose byway of a grease fitting screwed into the hex. That way it's removable.

Back in the day (a long time ago) these were used to grease universal joints on drive shafts. You couldn't get the grease gun end onto the grease zerk on a universal joint.
