Throwout Bearing Lube

The 1650 I have has a grease hose about a foot or so long to the clutch bearing. No way to tell when the last time someone pushed grease through it or how much. The operator manual warns about over greasing obviously. I'm afraid of even pumping a little bit into the fitting, worried that a wad of old grease will squirt out onto the clutch. What is the best way to handle this to make sure the old throw out bearing is getting enough grease?
 
All I know is,the decal on my 2-135 White says 2 hand pumps every 50 hours of operation. If it hasn't had any for a while,who knows. Three or four pumps maybe? Or have somebody hold the pedal down with the engine running so it's spinning while you pump some in.
 
Give it a few pumps and quit worrying about it. I have the end results from some d-a not greasing it enough in my shop right now getting a new clutch.
 
If Windows 10 would let me upload new pictures,I'd show you the one that fell out of my 2-105 the other day. That one isn't greasable. The front half pulled right off when I pulled it apart and all the balls fell in to the bottom of the bell housing.
 
Thanks for posting the question. I was going through my "new" 1850 that I got last fall and pulled the same hose out of the belly pan. No grease fitting and who knows when it was last used. I've dug out the
crap at the end of the hose, mounted it where it should be with a grease fitting and will now pump a little grease into it with the pedal in.
 
It is possible to get carried away, I opened up a 1650 to reseal hydrodrive and scraped out at least 2 tubes of grease out of the bell housing. Apparently what you put in doesn't ever come
out. I was surprised the clutch wasn't slipping. The guy that owned it greased it every time he used it.
