I have an FB as well with the cast iron plate fertilzer box and grass seeder. It's in good shape however the fertilzer corroded the fertilzer chutes and the grain/fertilizer mixing chute at the top of the drop tubes.Mother Deere still sels new one for a price....
I just removed and never replaced the fertilizer chutes. If a drop tube plugs there is now a spot for the seed to drop out of. Not as manny missed streaks in the field.
The disks are getting worn and plugged openers are all to common.
Around here the supply store sells bulk fertizer and supply the spreader. Cheaper than purchasing bagged fertilzer and bonus no corrosion on the seed drill.
Keep searching for gease fittings. There are dozens of places to lube as well as the wheel drive chains.
