Do it all the time. Take the zerk and get an appropriate drill and tap. Don't remember the size or would tell you. Use the zerk as a guide.

Drill it, tap it and screw her in. Works great. I even do it to my side discharge, parallel bar rake. Had an arm fall off one time from a dry "sealed" bearing. A real pain to fix. Decided never again.

Get right in the top center, where the material is thin; (it's thick enough to hold the thread). There aren' a lot of chips to have to clean up either.
