Try a different grease gun. If that wont stick and the zerks are clean, then replace the zerks. I had a deuce and ahalf in the service that had 55 zerk fittings. I found that the greasegun quality and the wear of the grease gun "female end". Played a big part.

Default front wheel zerks
What I meant to say was that there's not enough room between the zerk and the wheel to allow my grease gun end to fit in there. The zerk is straight. Do they make angled zerks?

Yes, and they also make a right angle end for a grease gun.

Question Front Wheel Zerks
I've checked all area car parts stores and can't find any angled zerks or angled grease gun ends. Anyone know of any online source I might try?

That's where I went - auto zone, napa, farm tractor. they all had angled zerks but not long enough. the cub cadet zerks have a long neck that screws into the wheel, so the standard short zerks won't work.

Will it hit something? I find it hard to believe that this grease zerk is so special that a short one won't work or that you can't find a replacement.

What tractor is this on?

Did you try Cub Cadet?

How about a picture......

How about a pic of what you have. I find it hard to believe that you can't get a standard gun on these fittings. I've never had a problem using a regular gun to grease the wheel bearing fittings.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
