I don't have one. Crawl under your truck and study your tie rod ends. There is a bearing ( I know it's not a roller bearing, but that's not important ), a flat plate on top, a zerk in the flat plate, and a bolt and nut to retain it on the other side. That flat plate that the zerk in stuck in is only about .02 in thick. Once you drill thru that, there is an air space behind. Stop drilling as soon as you penetrate the plate. Tap with a 1/4 -20 as I recall and insert the standard small zerk you can get at any auto store. If you don't have the flat plate, and the cast part covers the bearing, the same thing applies. Just have to drill deeper. Very little drillings and I don't worry about them. I feel that if any get into the bearing, the addition of grease to the joint will far outweigh having a couple of shavings share the space.
While you are at it, if you have any sealed tie rod ends on your tractor might as well hit them too.
