I"ve been using an International 484 for about 13 years baling and moving hay. This summer the left rear axle had an occasional squeak and finally last month the squeak changed to a constant grind. I"ve removed the left axle carrier and axle and the outer bearing came out in pieces. I"ve cleaned it out but can find no way to grease that bearing other than to dismantle the rear of the tractor. The local dealer claims there should be a grease fitting but I can"t find one and can"t see where one should have been installed.
Do they make a grease that lasts for another 30 years that I can pack in and forget about? Or is it possible to snake a very thin grease gun in around the outer seal? Or should I tap in a grease fitting? Thanks for any advice you all may have.
