Lincoln Grease Gun w/ Flex Hose

The listing

. The Lincoln Model 1012 is a vintage, collectible manual grease gun (often noted as a Series C model) manufactured in the U.S.A. by the Lincoln Engineering Company. NEW Flex Hose! Overview & History • Type: Vintage manual hand-held grease gun. • Status: No longer in active modern production; found primarily among tool collectors or second-hand marketplaces (such as Etsy or eBay). • Build: Standard heavy-duty metal barrel and cast pump head typical of mid-20th-century Lincoln lubrication equipment. Common Maintenance & Usage for Vintage Lincoln Guns • Loading: Designed to accept standard grease loading methods (bulk fill or older cartridge formats depending on the specific Series C follower configuration). • Troubleshooting: If an older Model 1012 fails to dispense grease, the issue is usually internal check-valve sticking or old hardened lubricant blocking the piston chamber. Cleaning the outlet check valve and closure plug with mineral spirits or a solvent usually restores function
