!stduce. You need to slowly turn the flywheel till you find the grease zerk on the flywheel. The passage is from the zerk down to the pocket bearing Inside the flywheel. I painted the fly wheel where the zerk is to make it easier to find later. The fitting on top of the flywheel housing goes through a hose to the through out bearing I think.

Thanks oldbeek!
I figured it out after looking in the maintenance manual. Did notice that everything in there is coated in oil... That's probably not good. We didn't pull the drain plug to see what comes out, but that's next.
I still haven't figured out the ball socket inserts. From everything I've seen, this grader should not use any inserts, but there they are, and without them it's going to be REALLY sloppy...
I'll probably order 8 new ones and see what happens. Should at least take a bunch of slop out for a while...
