What I think he means is that there are different sizes of button head
fittings. I got 2 different size adapters after I got my crawler since I
finally found a store that had them but then didn't know what size it
required. The pipe fittings are 1/8". The question still stands: what
are the common sizes for the button head grease fittings?

Some google surfing turned up this:

There seem to be 3 different sizes, junior, standard and giant.
Background information I didn't know on the development of lubrication
stuff:

And I found a drawing of the giant fitting:

You might do some checking around to see what size to expect or compare
drawings until you find a size match. Since I haven't seen that type of
crawler I don't have a clue as to the size of the fitting.
