Anyone bother to fit grease nipples (sorry I do not like the word "zerk")?
You might not like the word "ZerK" but that is the proper term. Oscar U. Zerk, born in Austria, was living in the USA and working for the Alamite Corp. in the 1920's when he invented, and patented, his "lubrication receiving nipple" (US patent 1,619,454) .
