3/ yes, yes, you're all going to be very clever and make jokes about WHY do I need to hire farm hands. Well, I'm out ahead of you. Because I noticed ONE zerk fitting is broken off; there are three others that haven't been !@#-ed up yet. THAT'S WHY.

4/ ok, lots of people want to talk about zerk fittings I'll share two spoilers from the Farm Book I'm working on: 1) buy an assortment of zerks; they're cheap https://www.harborfreight.com/50-piece-grease-fitting-assortment-67570.html … 2) upgrade your grease gun with a Lock N Lube. Pricey but worth it https://www.amazon.com/LockNLube-fittings-best-selling-Long-lasting-rebuildable/dp/B00H7LPKKU …

5/ I spent $30 to upgrade my primary grease gun with a LNL, a farmhand lost it, I spent another $30 to upgrade my backup grease gun ... and then found the first one. Now dual-wielding upgraded grease guns. WINNING.
