One of the zerks is to grease the water pump bearings. The other greases the water pump shaft packing. Neither of these need much grease. The bearings have shaft seals and over greasing at worst may push the seals out of there seats or if the seals are not tight, the grease will come out and make a mess. If you overgrease the packing, the grease will just go into the coolant. So not much grease needed, only a couple strokes a year if you work the tractor. If you don't work it, not even that often. So the covers were there because you did not need to grease very often.
