    If it only has one zerk on the front shaft, it might have had one u-joint replaced. Hard to say which one, as your model was in the phase-out period, IFAK.

    Here is a good article on greaseable vs. non-greaseable joints.

    “Bottom line on strength: The non-greaseable joint is slightly stronger than a greaseable joint. The exact number, how much stronger, is unknown and we do not believe it to be very significant.

    Bottom line on wear life: A regularly greased greaseable joint will outlive a non-greaseable joint. But a non-greaseable joint will outlive a greaseable joint that does not get greased properly.”
