You should be able to find them at McMaster Carr.

Snyder's sells them too.

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.

For myself, I don't like to see an A or AA with modern day fittings.

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.

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.

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

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.
