Colony also make the fitting without the rubber tubing. I think this one is made of steel with a sprung ball bearing over the grease hole, and may be technically superior, but retails around $85.

I'm pretty sure Tom at Faber Cycles has them also.

Thanks guys for your help. i appreciate it alot. i'm replicating as accurately as possible the original tool roll for my 27JD as seen in the Rider's Handbook. i was able to find a patented June 16, 1919, 7 inch, T-handle automotive Alemite screw grease gun and convert it to accept a 1/8" NPTF, hence my search for a head that looks similar to the one in the Handbook. I'll start out by contacting Tom Faber and go from there.

Steve,

Does it matter that it is exactly the same as the one in the picture? If not then why not just a standard button head fitting?

Hi Steve,

I'd be interested to hear how you made out with your quest? I'm going to need to purchase one myself.

Lori Faber said she'd have them in another week or so.
