Jeff: Cowman is right, too much grease has always been a problem with those. The manual calls for a very small amount of grease every 6 months or 500 hours of operation. That is why most of them don't have zerks. IH basically recomends putting a zerk in temporarily at greasing time. That way it doesn't get greased every time the rest of tractor does. The distributor shaft housing has a small hole on back side, They recomend 4 to 6 pumps or until you see grease out that small hole. The drive housing call for several pumps of gun. Around 1960, I had an IH technician recomend to me using white automotive grease on these. I've been using that close to 45 years now, and I would recomend it. I've seen these taken apart with regular gun grease being used, wall of grease around the case and none in vital points. The white grease stays in the small drive parts much better. I expect moly grease would work well. Lot of new lubes on market since these tractors were built.
