Lubrication Questions

I have a few lubrication questions regarding 60's to 80's 3 cylinder models which probably pertain to others as well.

Does anyone lubricate rockshaft bushings in any way?

What about the the pivot pin that the front end rides on? There's no grease fitting.

How about the far end of the power steering assist cylinder? It's a naked ball joint type, it's almost like it's [i:bc0b8a1a81][b:bc0b8a1a81]trying[/b:bc0b8a1a81][/i:bc0b8a1a81] to collect water.

What about radius rod ball ends?

Thanks!
 
Axle pivot bearing,
I had an AC D-14 once, it had a grease fitting on this wear point, never a problem,
I have a Ferguson TO35 with no grease fitting on this wear point, have had to replace the bearing, manual says to keep this joint lubed with
graphite, have done so since I installed the new bearing,
 
've never lubed radious balls, though have bushinged some of them up with a penny or piece of innertube.
 
Conversely, I have, and also use the penny when needed; have used a folded piece of alum beverage can too which works well and easier to get the nuts started.

On the front axle pivot, I wondered too on my first Ford, but 30 years and numerous since, haven't lost one and quit worrying about it.

I do keep my kingpins and steering couplers well lubed and the often forgotten brake and clutch pedal linkages under the tractor.
 
What about the rockshaft? Does it make any sense to apply light oil at the joint in the hopes that capillary action will pull it in? All of mine are worn to some degree, one quite badly.

Never lubed them on any tractor and none had slack as I can remember.
