Re: grease fitting replacement
If you are trying to be original, then use original fittings. There is an adapter for mating a grease gun to these fittings.
For myself, I don't like to see an A or AA with modern day fittings.

Re: grease fitting replacement
Mine has modern day bearings, electrical, tires, lubricants, paint, and upholstery. Being able to grease it with a modern day grease gun is a pleasure. When I die whoever gets it next can replace them if they wish.Neil Wilson wrote:For myself, I don't like to see an A or AA with modern day fittings.

Re: zerk grease fit replacement
My A's & AA's have original style grease fittings. I also use original grease guns made for those fittings. I do not have a problem using them. Any grease fitting will usually "spill" a little.
Re: zerk grease fit replacement
i have found all the zerks i need except the two long fittings on the rear axle. they are about 1 inch long not including threads. any idea on this. it looks to be 5\16 pipe thread. does anyone have the specs on the original grease fittings on a AA. thank you, kevin

Re: zerk grease fit replacement
I believe that those "modern zerk fittings" were made back in the 20s/30s, Henry just did not want to pay patent fees to use them. Steve.
