Tecalemit grease gun age

[Philip d]

I have one that looks like this in my basement. For some reason I thought Dad said it came with the 4911 Zetor he bought new in 1980? Would that be a reasonable possibility? Just trying to figure out how old it might be. Tks

Looks similar to/ same as the one that came with the Ferguson 20-85 in 1953.

Did it come with its own hammer to use with it on most fittings? Probably should have...

I’m not sure all I have is the grease gun itself

That’s highly possible also , there were several of those on the farm at that time

I'm sure that's all there was, but thinking about most grease fittings that I deal with... If I had to use that over-sized syringe, you bet I would be tapping it with a 3 pound hammer to get grease into the fitting... I must not be as strong as dudes back in the 50s.

The ' Blue Spot ' grease gun was standard tool box equipment for the Ferguson TE20 series tractors . Difficult to tell without scale but this looks identical. The plunger knob would have an indent in the centre where a blue disc was mounted if it is .

Mine might have had a blue spot at one time but it might have fell out. Just a hole in the middle closer look. The one here is a 3021 if that’s any help

If it is the model issued with Ferguson tractors it would have been made sometime after 1946 . The one pictured on my desk is model GC 3021 as well . I suspect that it must have found its way into a Zetor tractor tool box by means other than the factory .
They do fetch reasonably high prices .

Thank you very much! At least I know a bit more about it.

Tecalemit looks to be some kind of a take-off of the long time Alemite company?
