it looks like the bottom rollers could be the life time lubricated ones ..

That would be my guess as well.

The machine mfg. date is 1986. So it sounds like I shouldn't worry about it than ? Its just a little confusing as the manual calls out to oil/grease the bottom rollers and it looks somewhat like the same fitting.

Thanks for your feedback.

most likely the rollers have been replaced i have a 2010 that the rollers have been replaced and they are lifetime lubed look at pic 7 and 9 you can see the rollers pretty good they are a little different than yours but they are 350 rollers .... http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/ ... php?t=7806

Thanks for the pics. I wouldn't think this machine has had all the lower rollers replaced, it doesn't appear to have had a lot of maintenance furthermore the undercarriage is still at 90% (still original) in good condition.

I'll assume they are maint. free and continue running.

looking at the parts book the 350c still had oil type rollers ....BUT they show the lifetime ones also ..so i would guess that the lifetime were replacements and or used in the very late C models the Ds only show the lifetime ones
