Title:
GREASE NIPPLE (KU-0661115010)
Description:
The Kubota 06611-15010 grease nipple provides a reliable and efficient way to deliver grease directly into moving components such as pins, bushings, and bearings. In practice, it allows technicians to lubricate critical parts quickly and consistently without needing to disassemble machinery.
Construction & Design
Kubota engineers design this component with several key features. First, the threaded base screws firmly into a pre-tapped hole (typically M6 × 1.0), creating a secure and leak-resistant connection. Next, the hardened steel body, often coated with zinc, protects the fitting from corrosion, moisture, and harsh working environments. As a result, the nipple maintains durability even under demanding conditions.
In addition, the internal ball check valve plays a critical role. A spring-loaded steel ball:
- Opens when grease pressure is applied
- Then closes immediately afterward, thereby sealing the system and preventing contamination
Finally, the grease head (dome tip) allows a grease gun coupler to attach securely. This ensures efficient grease transfer during maintenance.
Model Fitment:
This grease nipple is widely used across Kubota equipment (fits hundreds of models).
Common applications include:
- Kubota tractors (L-series and others)
- Mini excavators (e.g., K-series like K-008)
- Front loaders and attachments
Typical installation points:
- Boom, arm, and bucket linkages
- Hydraulic cylinders (lift / bucket / swing)
- Pivot joints and pins
- Steering and front axle components
