    Trouble using grease gun

    I know I'm mostly preaching to the choir because you guys are very helpful, but why aren't there videos that show what to do with my problem? It's almost like people don't want new people to learn how to use a tractor to grow food. Does anyone know a place where a new guy like me can learn if...

    Trouble using grease gun

    My BX23S just says, "lube the grease points on your BX23S every 10 hours" then there's no where to learn how to do that except Youtube, where everyone shows you how to do it without any problems. If you have a problem...well...good luck.

    Trouble using grease gun

    Okay, I will definitely get that. I'm just concerned that when I do, there will be some issue I don't understand. It seems like you have to know someone to show you how to use things because the owner's manual won't show you the problems and Youtube videos only show you when things go the...

    Trouble using grease gun

    The shank is smooth - there is only threading on the outside of the zerk.

    Trouble using grease gun

    It appears that my grease gun does not have an adjustable tip. It can't rotate to let go of the zerk. So I just pulled as hard as I could and the zerk came out. But I still don't know how to proceed from here. Does anyone have a video to show how to go from here? Again, I'm so sorry for my...

    Trouble using grease gun

    Sorry, but I don't understand. There's no battery, its just manual. Did I buy the wrong kind?

    Trouble using grease gun

    Oh, and I never twisted the grease gun when trying to apply grease the first time. Maybe that will help figure out what went wrong?

    Trouble using grease gun

    The zerk fitting spins around, but never comes off. I figured that if I could get it to spin counterclockwise it would eventually come off. But it just spins and spins. A vise won't help because that's not the problem.

    Trouble using grease gun

    So I'm supposed to leave the zerk fitting in the tip of the grease gun and rotate the entire grease gun to seat the zerk fitting back into the tractor? Then pull the trigger of the grease gun and it will release the zerk fitting?

    Trouble using grease gun

    I can't thank all of you enough for your help. My problem now is that I can't get the zerk fitting off of the grease gun tip. I've turned it dozens of times and also pulled but its just stuck in there. Does someone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Trouble using grease gun

    Did I buy the wrong grease gun or use the wrong size or something? Are all grease guns the same size? I got it at Walmart-is it a bad gun that ruins your grease points? Where should I buy one that works correctly?

    Trouble using grease gun

    I've watched many Youtube videos about how to grease your BX23S, but no one shows anything similar to what happened to me here. Everyone just sticks the tip into the grease point and everything happens smoothly. No one said, "If your grease gun pulls out the stem of the grease point, here's...

    Trouble using grease gun

    I tried to use a grease gun on my BX23S backhoe and the very first time I tried it, the gun seems to have somehow pulled the pin (?) out from the fitting. Does anyone know what I did wrong? Notice the orange item sticking out from the tip of the grease gun. I can't pull it out by twisting or...

    Can't remove flat tire on my BX23S

    In case it matters, I wasn't able to see any puncture and tried to fill the tire but it wouldn't hold air at all. Does that indicate that it came off the rim? Is there some other way to fix this?

    Can't remove flat tire on my BX23S

    I have a BX23s with 35 hours on it that has a flat tire in the front. I've tried with all my might to loosen the lug nuts with a socket wrench and none of them will budge. I've seen some Youtube vids that say you don't need an impact wrench, but I just can't do anything with hand tools. Am I...

    I forgot to release hydraulic pressure when disconnecting my BX23S backhoe. What do I do now?

    Good news - I tried again this morning when it was in the mid 30s and they connected no problem! Thanks for help everyone!
