The Ford Barn

atch · 10-06-2025, 10:44 AM

I've driven my "new" 1930 sedan enough in the two months that I've owned it that I need to be some lubing. I have 2 of the old fashioned large grease guns. You know, the kind that everyone on here has at least one of; and probably more.

I don't mind using one of them but am wondering if anyone uses the smaller ones.

Is there another better option?

I imagine that the answer is on the barn somewhere but my meager searching skills didn't find it.

I have 2 Lincoln battery powered grease guns. Much better than the hand pump style.

I just bought a DeWalt battery powered one. I'll be using it next time. Should make the job much easier.

See your other post, "What Grease do you use?" #4.

Do you have flexible hoses on those grease guns?

I use a flex hose. It would be impossible to get to some of the fittings otherwise.

Note: both of my grease guns have flexible hoses on them.

Milwaukee battery and a small manual gun for the few original fittings I have left

The DeWalt has a long enough hose to leave the gun on the ground and still reach the zerks. Which is good since it's not as light as just a grease gun.

I use 2 small LINCOLN grease guns, one for water pump grease & one for chassis grease. The slide is about greases.

I use this altemite era grease gun that is fast and easy to use with one hand.
