A PROTECTIVE COVER ASSEMBLY FOR A GREASE FITTING Abstract of the Disclosure A protective cover assembly is disclosed for a grease fitting formed on the universal joint of a Cardan shaft. The assembly includes a cover plate, a support member and a slideable sleeve. The cover plate projects outward from a gear case and encircles a portion of the Cardan shaft which is connected between the gear case and a transmission. The support member straddles the cover plate and is attached to the gear case such that it encircles a portion of the Cardan shaft and is aligned adjacent to the universal joint. The support member has a stepped outer surface with a radially aligned attachment mechanism formed on the smaller diameter surface. The slideable sleeve protrudes onto the smaller diameter surface and the attachment mechanism cooperates with a mating surface on the sleeve to form a quick attachable and releaseable fit between the two parts. When the sleeve is secured to the support member, the universal joint is completely enclosed and protected from contamination and when it is necessary to lubricate the universal joint, the sleeve is slid back thereby exposing the grease fitting.
