I have one I bought from mother Deere and it seems to be OK. The batteries don't last the way I think they should but that might be my fault.
Some of the guys have put away the battery gun and have gone back to hand pumping because they're afriad of over-greasing. I guess that's up to the general knoweldge and abilities of the individual.
I'm not trying to discourage you from buying a battery gun. It's just sooooooo easy to keep squeezing the trigger too long.
A couple of years ago while I was in Kansas on the wheat harvest I got out to the field at the crack of dawn to replace a bearing before the rest of the crew got there. Another harvester who was parked across the fence was out there early too so he could do his 100 hour service. His battery gun was in their service truck at the camp ground so he came over and asked me if he could borrow mine.
I let him take the gun and he went to servicing. He was close enough so I could hear the gun whining and on every zerk that gun must have pumped twenty times or more! He was getting it done alright! I wonder how many tubes he went through?
I read an article on proper bearing care and in this article one bearing manufacturer was quoted as saying they LIKE powered grease guns. They sell more bearings because of them. Jim

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
