front axle grease fitting

[John *.?-!.* cub owner]

reading The Riot's post about which way to turn the front axle and grease fitting reminded me of a question I intended to ask. I was recently helping a local man with his lowboy and his axle did not have a grease fitting on the center pivot. It was already installed, but i gave it a pretty good going over and could find no evidence of a grease fitting ever having been there. I checked front, rear, top, and bottom sides of the pivot with no indication of a hole or broken fitting being found. That is the first lowboy I ever worked on, and I was curious if this was normal for a low boy.

All three of my Lo-Boys have zerks.

Both mine do, as well. On the back side on the right and on the front on left side.

My standard Cub, probably constructed from assorted parts, has not indication of a zerk on the front axle pivot.

My 48 has the adjustable axle and I toook it off to clean and repaint it and the pivot. This one also does not have a zerk. I sandblasted all that down to bare metal and no zerk or no indication of a zerk anywhere.

is there a place in the end of the shaft for a fitting?

Nope. I looked.
