ajax grease gun
Hello.
Can somebody post a few pictures of the grease/oil gun that came with the Ajax's ( models 3, 4 or 5 ). I would like to try and track one down as I am having difficulty lubricating the rear roll through the holes as the nozzles on the two I have won't fit.
Thanks

I use a Abnox Wanner 31960 on my Certes it works a treat with Castrol EP90 oil on the bearings.
That's the Rolls Royce of oil
That's the Rolls Royce of oil guns. Coincidentally another forum contributor and I have recently been corresponding about Wanner grease guns. I've had my original one since the 1960s . I cant remember what I paid for it then but I see they are now around £70, but I recently picked up two at a jumble for less than £10 each..

As an oil gun it's also very useful for oiling the trunnions on a Triumph Herald car!
Not a lot of people know that
Not a lot of people know that they don't like grease and for the same reasons as Ransomes rear rollers - they seize up . Back in the day it was for my Mum's Herald that I acquired my first Wanner - in the 1960s.

One of my Ajax mowers came with what I thought was a grease gun but was in fact filled with oil.Having just looked at the Ajax operators manual it makes reference to an “oil gun” and “oil gun nipples”.
Point of order!

Ransomes recommend lubricating with 30 or 50 grade oil - so its an oil gun! . The most usual one is made by Tecalamit. Best source is boot fairs and autojumbles.
Grease tends to dry out and block the passageways leading to seized rollers.
