There are some drive in grease fittings with a considerable taper on the end. Those don't tend to stay in near as well as the straight ones. In the late '80s Cadet was using the tapered kind with no luck. I was working part time at a dealership, one of my duties was to assemble new equipment. We made it a habit to grease every new mower. On the 1015, 1315, 1320 etc. there would be at least one to pull out when you took the grease gun off. We would replace them with straight ones from IH. Finally the store owner belly-ached to the Cadet rep and even gave him the Case-IH part number. Eventually someone at Cadet wised up and used a different fitting or reduced the hole size.
