[SEL] Water Needle valve on a "M"/now grease cups.

[Richard Strobel]

Ok great John.  I've let Corky know.  Don't know where zerk came from. 
Possibly another term might be alemite (sp) fitting but believe that's 
different from a zerk.  Zerks your modern day grease gun fitting used on 
machinery and vehicles.

Thanks John...we've seen the IHC logo on a 3hp not too far away.

later,
Rick
