C-160 Brake and Clutch Pedal Grease Zerks

Recommended Posts

Back on a horse

I couldn't find a grease zerk in the parts list for the pedals or the collar.  But, the used clutch pedal I just bought for a C series does have an un-threaded hole that looks like it is meant for a zerk.  Anybody know why WH apparently omitted the zerk on the pedals?  Also, does anyone know what the thread size is on the WH zerks?

Zerks on WH’s are 1/4-28. Someone else will probably chime in on the the pedal.

I agree with @Blackhood Bill I have drilled these out and tapped them with 

1/4  28. I'm not sure if they had this in mind when they made those holes but they are perfect and they do need grease!

back on the horse , tapping out or threading a pre drilled hole is very easy , make sure you use the starter tap , with the narrowest front point area , followed by the next size tap,  ( use penetrating oil as your lubricant  )  while you are at it , you could go after each zerk fitting as a base line lubrication , pete

It was intended to just put a few drops of oil in it but drilling out and tapping is easy if you want to, :)

That's what I do on both of my tractors, a couple of times a year.  I just drip a few drops of oil into each hole until it gets filled, work the pedal back and forth several times to distribute the oil, repeat as necessary until both pedal assemblies are working smoothly, and then finally wipe off the excess oil.

 

A grease fitting would certainly work, but it's not totally necessary.

That’s what I do as well... Works like a charm and since I don’t have a tap set my ole oil can does wonders...although can’t say I do it couple times a year though... :hide:

Yeah, if I'm being totally honest, neither can I. :rolleyes:
