    Hi all
    I am in the process of rebuilding a 1964 T120 from the ground up. The frame has been painted with two pack black and looks very nice indeed. New stainless rims and spokes, in fact all bolts are stainless. Engine rebuilt by SRM so eventually it should be better than new I hope! I am hoping someone here may be able to help me with information on the Stewart Warner Alemite 4046 grease gun I purchased in an antiques shop recently, it is a great gun but I have no idea how to fill it with grease! I imagine it would take a cartridge, although there is no evidence of a spent one in it. Strangely there is nothing in Google land, other than sales of them, to say what is used.

    Cheers
    Chris

    If it's the same as a normal grease gun - just pull back the plunger remove collar and put grease directly into the gun. There is no cartridge

    No plunger on the bottom, just a spring loaded plunger inside which slides on a central rod, hence the cartridge theory.
