[Farmall] Farmall Cub throwout bearing

[E. John Puckett]

As you have noticed, the bearing is a graphite block.  It is lubricated 
by grease being pumped into the cavity behind the graphite, and the oil 
then separating form the wax base and soaking into the and through the 
graphite.  The IH ones, and I believe the ones TM Tractor sell or 
prelubricated from the factory, and will last for many years, just as 
the originals did.  The after market ones are not prelubricated, and if 
you use the tractor much cannot be expected to last near as long, as I 
learned the hard way.
