Three years ago, I bought a used '94 (134L670G023) MTD with 12.5HP engine and a bagger attachment. At the beginning of last spring, one of the front tires wouldn't hold air, and the it turns out the sidewalls were too cracked. On a 25 year old mower?!? No way, right?!? LOL! So, I did what any person with halfway decent ability did, and installed a tube in that wheel and away I went! Well, no. Apparently, I didn't have halfway decent ability. The valve slipped into the tire before it was fully inflated, and, well, yeah. So, I did what any person with a quarter of decent ability, and bought a universal replacement.
This year, I've done quite a bit on the mower, and just replaced the RH front axle spindle and tie rod. While I was doing that, I figured I'd replace the bushings and give everything a good greasing. This is the OEM wheel I didn't replace, and I noted that the grease fitting was missing. The hole is there, but it's wide open. As it turns out, I now have halfway decent ability and just replaced the tube in the OEM wheel that I failed to replace the tube in last year. That wheel still has the grease fitting, so when I put it back on the mower, I'll be able to grease it all up good.
My question is, where do I get a replacement grease fitting for the OEM wheel that's missing it?!? Below is a pic of the fitting on the one wheel. There is just a round hole (not tapped) in the other wheel. I don't even think I'd be able to get a tap into that area to tap it for a zerc. Anyone have any idea where I can get a replacement fitting? I've looked at ereplacement parts and there is no call out for that fitting.
