roysboystoys Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Odd grease fittings . Possibly early Harley Davidson? These are the only ones I've seen in 50 years of hunting but I'm sure someone here knows something about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I think that they were called “dot” fittings, the only car I ever saw with them on was a 1922 or 23 Bay State made by R. H. Long in Framington Massachusetts (I never was able to pin down the year). I sold the car to a collector in the early 1990’s who had since passed away - he was from Wisconsin near Milwaukee.

Thanks , research shows they were phased out about 1925 on cars , found some info that tractors used them up into 30's. The grease gun required a quarter turn to lock in place. There were many other models of "Dot" fittings. Looks like they are hard to come by , I've had these 25 years or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gillingham Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I thought I had seen these before, and I found the reference to them in an AACA magazine. It says that this style was used in 1922 only. I should have a list of cars that used Dot fittings in 1922, somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
