Grease fitting pulled out.

[TipTop]

Folks - was pumping grease at the various lube locations with a grease gun and the nozzle of the gun wouldn't let go of one of the fittings and pulled it right out.

Looking at the fitting, I don't see any threads. Are those things pressed in? The fitting itself looks a bit mangled. Are they easy to replace...or do I have to get them from Cub Cadet?

Thanks.

Which fitting is it the deck or front spindles ? They are a 3/16 and yes they are press fit. Had one come out of my 38c deck awhile back. You can find them at any farm supply store or I got mine at menards. I used a small 1/4 drive socket to install mine.

Hello, I'm rebuilding the spindle assys on my 54 in deck too, I have a damaged grease fitting. How do you get the pressed in fittings out, not much there to grab on to.
Also... On my 54 in deck the largest spacer is on the top right under the pulleys, most other size decks seem to have that spacer on the bottom above the blade.
This difference changes the location for the grease hole for the bearings, on mine the hole is buried under the smaller spacer.
CC milled a flat to extend the grease track, but its too short and still burried under the bearing race.
I'm going to redrill the holes deeper or mill the flat longer.
Have any of you guys done this before?
Thanks
