Darn, I've got weeping nipples.... what size are they? It's on a Takeuchi tb016

I only need the little part of the nipple, ie, not the right angles section.

 

Figured I may as well buy a pack as others are starting ooze a bit of grease. But what size do I need?

can you use a ruler to get outside dimensions

The outside diameter of the threaded bit looks like it's 6mm.

Does that mean it's an M6?

I've tried looking up the size of my nipples on the internet but its more complicated than i thought.

....didn't know nipples could come in so many shapes and sizes.

Cheers, steve

Take it to an agricultural/tractor suppliers for comparison, they'll have loads, the Takeuchis are metric so should be easy enough.

The hydraulic shop said the little part of the right angled nipple is M6 with 0.75 thread, so I can go ahead and order a bunch now

Good shout on going to a tractor shop.... and yeah I guess they probably have them in stock.

Bought myself a riddle bucket from digbits for the mini. Does a pretty good job - seperated out a pile of about 15 cubes into soil and crap on an allotment in about an hour.

My new nipples work perfectly and without leakage, nice shine to them too

I would like to share photos but you know how it is!...
