Greasing Front Axle Support

Any of you guys know how to grease a 2 WD axle pivot ???? L - 2501

Most of them I have seen just have one zerk, Put a couple of pumps into it.

YEP, and on my CUT I used some 1/8" tube to bring the zerk to a more accessible location so that I don't need to crawl under.
Greasing is messy enough without crawling in the dirt.
All the other zerks are readily accessible from the vertical.

On the L2501 the 2 wd front end pivot has no zerks. Just a plug in the rear of the pivot. No way to grease that I see. Nobody here has one of these tractors ? What do you do about it if anything ??? Thanks, Pete

I have never seen a 2wd drive tractor front axle pivot without a zerk

Page 55 of the operators manual doesn't show greasing a 2 wheel drive. It shows greasing the 4 wheel drive though

So is it like a sealed bearing?

Must be. But why the plug on the backside of the pivot?

Why not take that plug out and take a look in there with a strong light.

I am going to do just thas. I have some grease fittings coming...BPST and Metric. One will fit cuz it ain't SAE. I also have a grease needle coming so I can try to get grease into there with it....as I am sure I will blow out a seal if I put too much pressure on it.j
I Will check it out more later...….but it sure does not have a grease fitting and the book does not address this or say why. This thing has got to have grease as it moves a lot.
