So I recently bought a 1740M and upon comparing my tractor to the diagram in my owner’s manual could not find the two spindle zerks referenced. Can anyone confirm that grease is not required and they are protected with hydraulic fluid? I’m finding too many disconnects between my tractor and my owner’s manual. Massey publishing needs to step up their game.

One zerk fitting. If you look at the bottom of the housing you’ll see a drain plug for changing the oil

I found grease nipple discrepancies in my JD 4105 Owner Manual too... a couple added (FWD/REV pedal) and a couple removed (front axle). So it's not just MF that doesn't update their already published manuals when a slight modification happens.

Yeah, it's irritating.
