Last night I pulled the clutch pulley off my B and noticed that the outer bearing (the roller nearest to the clutch) was dry as a bone. It obviously doesn't get oiled by the engine oiling system. The bearing and crank surface it runs on appear to be OK, just really dry. How often is this bearing supposed to be greased, and what type of grease should be used?

Thanks!

Yep, I took the pulley off of my tractor a few years ago and found it in the same condition, dry as a bone. Somewhere in one of my JD books I did read that is one that needs to be manualy packed with grease by your local JD dealer every year. There are a few other items that are supposed to be serviced yearly by your dealer according to the book. The front fanshaft bearing is one of them. I do not recall what the other items are.
Anyway, I packed my clutch bearing with the same grease I put in my disc brake wheel bearings on my automibles. Oh yea, another one I would check is the outer bearing on the first reduction gear shaft. Just remove the 2 bolts on that sheetmetal cover in the center of the first reduction gear housing (somewhere below the right brake pedal). After the cover is off you can look in and see the bearing condition and pack some grease in it like I did mine. I don't think that one is mentioned in the book. That bearing suffers from moisture condensation and rust.

that bearing is greased by the operator not by the tractor. As the case of many items on these tractors it is neglected going years and years without any maintence. Pack it with heavy duty grease, be sure not to get any on the clutch facings and you should be okay. I just finished replacing and crankshaft in a 530 was run till the bearing played out. I had to have the crankshaft welded and resurfaced. Oh what a little maintence here and there would do.
