Proper amount of grease at the correct service interval is important. This is not a location for "pump until you see the grease coming out" as is the case with every other fitting on the Cub. Having a fitting there all the time leads to it being greased too frequently with too much grease. Having the plug there, removing it, installing the fitting, greasing it, removing the fitting, and reinstalling the plug makes it a less frequent job and makes one think about what you're doing instead of mindlessly overpumping the grease gun.Dale Finch wrote:.......... There has been a discussion as to why IH did not leave a zerk fitting in there...not sure if a consensus was reached.

Get something hard. I see to many with a bolt that fits but is always bent.Jim in SC wrote:Scrivet wrote:The hand crank mechanism is definitely something that needs used on occasion just so it stays limber for when you actually need it.
Yep. I think mine had about 60 years of SC mud caked around it. All is good now. Gotta replace that pin I drilled out though.
