okay, silly comment/question time.
While assembling the drive shaft on a couple of machines, I noticed the bearings that get installed are sealed both sides on the PTO side.
So the grease zerk that is usually next to where the speedometer cable goes into basically just greases the end of the drive shaft and the speedometer cable end.
Or are you suppose to remove the outer seal (one on the speedometer cable side)?
The only one that I've ever taken apart that wasn't destroyed still had both seals in-tact, so that is the way I've always put them back together. I've replaced about 5 of those bearings now on 4 different sleds. They seem to be holding up just fine.
The one that I replaced twice was my error. It was the first one I ever did and I put side-tension on the bearing. It lasted about 100 miles. It was an expensive lesson as it took out the chain case, tensioner, and gear when the axle dropped down.

Grease the drive bearing
