Er, was it capable of movement under its own power?! :o

About 6,000 years ago, possibly. Not now.

JRT has one, quite similar, that moves when he moves his upper lip.

A year or two ago I posted this interesting object. I also couldn't grease the thing. On inspection, I saw that the nipple was blocked. I started pulling the blockage out. What do you make of this?!

 

More bean counting. Most nipples have a non-return valve in the form of a spring loaded ballbearing, to prevent lube loss and contamination. This looks like a lump of felt does the same job, just not as well.....

 

It would be fine in, say, an indoors environment, which may be comparatively clean.

 

What's the thing at the other end?

Belfast,

 

That's the same spring assy extending from the base. Mine didn't come with the filter element though :grin:

 

So what did you do? :huh2:

 

I did a quick 100+ miler out Hwy 299 to scrub in the "new slippers for the Italian Ballerina" (Thanks, Doc) and everything was great.

 

Happy trails,

:ninja:
