About drilling a grease hole in the steering assembly

I am putting my steering assembly back together. I know that it originally called for 90 wt oil, but now grease should be used instead,someone said corn head grease. Can I use multi-purpose bearing grease, it doesn't get cold where I am? My Super 55 is an early model and doesn't have the grease hole. I saw on a post to drill through one of the side cover bolts to install a grease fitting. There is only one hole that goes all the way through the casting, so I am assuming that is the one to use. There is also the hole where originally the oil filler was, can I put a grease fitting there too? Also, should I pack it with grease before I put the covers on.

You don't have to do any drilling you have the hole. Just remove the tip of your grease gun and stick the pipe in the hole and start pumping. The cornhead grease works better than regular grease. It is flowable so it gets into the balls and bearings better. It allso stays the same consistity weather its hot or cold. Its much easyer to use the bolt hole when the tractor is all together. Just remove the bolt,the grease wont run out and stick the pipe of the gun in. No need to add a zerk fitting. With the grease in there you wont need to add much at all. because it wont run out.
