The tecalimite adapter should be available through any automotive store that sells grease guns and adapters. It might not be in stock, but they can be ordered in. I believe the same fittings were used on Cats at one time.
I have several of the adapters, but postage will cost more than the adapters worth.

Default UC grease fittings

Hi Mike,
Just to be sure you're aware, fittings on carriers are BSF 3/8-20, not metric. You can chase regular 1/8 NPT grease fittings with a 3/8-20 die and screw them in to do the greasing, then pull them back out and replace with the originals where they can be seen.

Default Alemite adapters

You can get those Alamite adapters from any Cat dealer but the last time I checked they were about $75.

Well then I won't feel guilty about the $10 I charged Mike for the one I just sent him.
