There's a little more to it than that. For instance, a lot of water
pumps and steering boxes of that vintage have grease fittings, but
some of those need to be greased with great tenderness, to avoid
pu****ng out the seals. The clutch throwout bearing on some Farmall
tractors of this same era has a fitting and the consensus is not to
grease it at all (so everybody gives it one shot once a year and
worries about it), because any excess grease gets on the clutch
facing.
Hence, the desire to learn from somebody who was there at the time.
