Before the winter break I greased every part that is mentioned in the chart below:
The grease nipple at L5 came off... so the nipple remained in the grease gun, the part with the thread remained in the axle.
The only thing that I could buy in Germany was a grease nipple form John Deere.
Is this the correct size or is L5 also the one suggested by Ruairidh Dunford. Last weekend Rolf Königer brought his full range of spare nipples to our annual club meeting but.... not L5...
Thanks for your answers in advance

1/4 x28 tpi is a UNF thread
1/4 BSF is 26 tpi
You may force it to stay in the hole but it won't be nice. Time to order the part from over here
Personally I much prefer this design of grease nipple
