Grease fitting

[Jackson04]

I went to do my regular 10 hour greasing today and notice this one popped out. I tried to lightly hammer it back in but didn't do the trick so I figured I'd ask if anyone knows how to fix?

Thanks

Looks like you've lost a retaining clip off that pin. If the grease fitting is broken, it'll be better to remove the pin and fix it. Turn off the tractor and release any hydraulic pressure. Pull the pin out. It shouldn't be hard, and be prepared to catch that end of the cylinder. Wipe off the pin and remove the zerk, if it's broken. Most are screwed in, but some are pressed in. You can take the pin to a parts store and get the proper snap ring and grease fitting. Reassemble and grease it.

My guess is outrigger for a backhoe.

If for the BX3S, stab arms, as in the drawing...
Kubota # 7559981521 1/4-25 * .68" long grease fitting

real common any 'parts place' will have them .

The right answer would have been BT603.
BX23S is just the tractor.

Along with a threaded grease zerk (top pic), you'll need a external clip (bottom pic).

Thanks everyone for the help

I have a zerk that needs replacing. Same tractor (backhoe).

It's easy to find 1/4 28-thread SAE fittings, but I haven't found any that are .68" long. Most I have found are closer to .5". Does that matter? I imagine the shorter total length may equate to shorter thread length - so fewer threads in, and potentially more prone to coming out.
