Remote grease fittings
Wanted to put a remote grease fitting on one of my tractors like mjsoldcub did here on his 1250;
http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...015#post260015 Found this at Grainger; https://www.grainger.com/product/LUB...fill-Kit-6Y742 ..but that's a bit much!  Any thoughts out there?

McMaster has the same thing for $41.
You could go to McMaster Carr and piece it together. They have bulkhead fittings, grease fittings, grease hose, adapters..... It's actually a little less to piece it together. I would use plastic air line (available at most part stores) and use compression fittings to connect it. The air line is rated at pretty high pressures. Not that greasing the gear box uses high pressure. It's not too difficult a thing to make really.

I’ll have to go out and check, but..
 I’m guessin that the grease fitting in the steering box is a threaded, 1/8 NPT. So,.. 2, 5 packs of Miniature Brass Barbed Tube Fittings (McMaster-Carr part # 5454K65) should be enough to do the 4 tractors that I have; http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-ba...tings/=13x3a5m I would need 2 of the two packs of the Through-Wall Couplings (McMaster-Carr part # 5454K86) ; http://www.mcmaster.com/#bulkhead-fittings/=13x3g4x If I wanted the chrome look I could go with the same fitting in chrome plated brass, (McMaster-Carr part # 5483T92) for a couple dollars more. The Tygon tubing is very attractive price wise but as it only has a max pressure rating of 85 psi I think the Crack-Resistant PFA Clear Tubing for Chemicals (McMaster-Carr part # 52705K32) would be a better choice; http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-pl...ubing/=13x3l1x I should be able to reuse the zerk, or for the shiny look add a few stainless ones (McMaster-Carr part # 1293K11). Now for some pinchclamps (McMaster-Carr part # 6541K34) http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-hose-clamps/=13x410z Barbed fittings 17.44 Couplings 8.34 Tubing 27.50 Pinch clamps 8.84 Plus zerks if you don’t got nun. Plus the pinch clamp tool if you ain’t got that either Plus shipping Enough to do 4 tractors.

Most of the Cub Cadet zirks are "press in" you're probably going to have to tap all the holes.

Just a quick follow up on this;
-Looks like the zerk is a press in type so yes Yosemite Sam, I will be taping the steering box. -The Miniature Brass Barbed Tube Fittings that I got from M-C came with a really nice ferule with female threads so no need for the pinch clamps!

That's not a ferule.... it's a threaded clamp. A ferule gets crushed. That's cool it came with that though. It should hold better pressure that way.

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.
