A few years ago I was bush hogging tall weeds
I looked back and there was smoke coming from the top of the bush hog
I guess I let the weed parts build up and the PTO shaft had rubbed it enough to get things HOT
So I built a simple shield to keep things from building up on top of the PTO shaft
BUT there is a grease zerk under the shield
To get to the zerk I need to unbolt the shield and tip it up
I greased the bushhog today as I want to open up a path through the woods again , as brush is starting to grow
I got to thinking
Take out and move the grease zerk
Run a new pipe to somewhere I could get to a new grease zerk
As I would like to put a about 90 degrees bend in the pipe to where I want the new grease zerk
I got thinking , how about using steel brake line ?
I think I have some 3/16 brake line
But I have 2 questions ( I think I already know ) before I do anything
Any chance the grease gun could over pressure the brake line ?
Would Lithium grease hurt the pipe or fittings ?
I looked and Mc Master lists a 1/4 28 to 3/8 24 adaptor
I have a brake line flaring tool
Also is there anything I am over looking ?
Thanks
