I just cleaned up and gave the NH tiller a few shots of grease since using last weekend. The left-hand side has a zerk, yet the right does not. Is the right a sealed bearing, or does the gear-oil bath take care of it?

I worked a nice amount of trash, grass, sand, etc. out of the groove where the tillers axle comes in contact with the frame. Seems as though a zerk allowing grease flow to blow this stuff out would aid in the life of the machine. However, neither does the left-hand side zerk allow this. add a little too much, and the release point in actually on the outside of the frame, where the greese cap is fitted.

My tiller has only one grease fitting on the bearing opposite from the chain drive. I was told that the gear oil takes care of the other one.
