Are you saying all that needs to be removed to get at the zerk?

jriffe108, what are those gray looking about a half dozen wires in the first photograph?
Been,
Yes, that is the only way to get grease into that zerk. There is no access from underneath, I tried everything.
Now, after removing the entire upper and lower dash assembly and floorboard, which required removal of the brake pedals, hst pedals, diff lock rod, mower height knob, and rockshaft flow knob, I will probably cut a hole in the lower dash and use an extension to my grease gun.
By the way, engine crank nut is 19mm and is very easy to turn.

you don't have to take the whole dash off to get the floor off. If you take the upper dash loose you can lift it up enough to take the lower dash out. You can get to the aft zerk without disassembling anything from below but the front one is the one that requires disasembly(just the lower dash,not the floor). I have considered cutting a access panel in the lower dash so I can get to the other access panel so I can grease the front joint without pulling EVERYTHING apart.
Scrappy, I didn't want to fight with floorboard and the lower dash trying to hold or wedge them back while fitting a grease gun in there.
I wanted to remove everything just to see how much time it took and aggravation.
I left the access panel off because I don't see a need to have it on there. I will cut a hole in the lower dash to access the front zerk.
I didn't want broken plastic tabs by trying to work around everything. I recommend removing the entire upper and lower dash along with floorboard for the first service when removing the access plate. Then, leave the plate off and use a holesaw or dremel out an opening in the lower dash panel once you see where it lines up.

Jriffe108,
How much time did it take you to remove everything to get to the access door. I will be doing this maintenace and dred the fact that I have to remove a lot of things from the machine to do this.
