JD 400 60 deck

Just purchased an old JD 400 but can not locate any grease fittings for the deck spindles. How do you grease the spindles?
 
Some spindles on some model JD decks are not greaseable. They"re sealed. Those that are greaseable, have the grease fitting in the center on the top of the spindle shaft (pulley sidde). I do recall seeing some spindles with the fitting in the side of the housing, but my memory not positive they were JD units.
 
The bearings are sealed. There"s zert on the belt idler pulley at the very bottom. I took a longer bolt, drilled down the center and cross drill and installed a zert. Cut a hole in the cover, I can now grease on the tractor.
