Thanks for your reply.

If you will please re-read the thread, you will find that we both know about the grease fitting on what you are calling the "bracket" (IH calls it the "retainer" in the manual).

We both know about the access hole in the left side of the torque tube. This is item #21 in the list of periodic lubrication in the "Lubrication" section of the manual.

There is also a seperate item, #37, that pertains to the bearing itself.

Quoting DIRECTLY from the manual:

"21 - Clutch release bearing retainer. Use pressure-gun (chassis lubricant) and apply two or three strokes of the lubricator. Do not overlubricate. The fitting can be reached by removing the clutch housing dust cover from the left side of the clutch housing."

This is the one we ALL know about. However:

"37 - Clutch release bearing. Use pressure-gun grease (chassis lubricant). After every 1,000 hours or at least once a every year, apply a few strokes of the lubricator to clutch release bearing fitting (37) or just enough grease until it starts to come out of the bleeder hole on top of the bearing retainer. To reach the fitting, remover clutch housing handhole cover "A." See illustration 37. Also see Illust. 41b."

Illustration 37 is the main diagram showing all points of lubrication. It is drawing, not a photo; and it CLEARLY shows a lubrication fitting on the bearing itself.

Not the retainer, the bearing.

Illustration 41b simply shows the location of the handhole cover (also known as the "mouse nest removal cover").

The fitting on the retainer is shown seperately from the fitting on the bearing in Illustration 37, with the notation "left side."

Again, my belief is that OEM bearings were lubricated and had a fitting on them, but aftermarket bearings are lifetime bearings and won't take lubrication.

I'm hoping some one will know the answer to this one; I sure don't.
