Make life easy on yourself Pete.  Remove the bearings, then drill and tap a hole in the wheel for a grease fitting.  Remove any chips with a vacuum and compressed air.  Reinstall the bearings and pump the wheel full of grease just like the stock Wheel Horse deck wheels.

@ri702bill  yes got some in those bearings , the original w/h horse wheels were very good ,the rubber would just give up after 30 years ! thing I  really notice with the green , is its staying power, even in the mule drive bearings , they get very hot , which  causes lubrication failure / noisy , whining bearings , very nice to have no noise /bearing issues since change over . anything related to my mower drive set up , pto lever to anything on the deck, goes green . lots of hours , many starts , it just makes sense .  green , pete

I'm glad to see that this is working for those who want to try. I have used 7inch plastic lawn mower in the past couple years. They worked, but didn't last that long.
