       Angus, U-joints are NEAPCO 1-0321.  Grease fittings, use 90 degree 
ones not the 45 degree ones that come with the U-joints.  You must grind off 
the area above the threads and continue the threads with a die up as far as 
you can.  The grease fittings will fit between the trunion and yoke by 
threading it in as far as possible on the new threads.  You must install the 
U-joint so that the grease fitting is between the U-joint and yoke of the 
drive shaft not the flange side.  To be able to grease these fittings with 
the drive shaft in place you will need a Needle Type Nozzle for your grease 
gun, Ultra-Pro part no. 79123.
