Evening Y'all,

I noticed that the old king pin bearings at the bottom
of the yoke on my '47 3100 were dry upon disassembly
(so what's new after 50 or so years).  I am replacing
the king pins now and have packed wheel bearing grease
in the lower bearing.  My question is, was that the
proper thing to do or should they have been replaced
dry for some reason?  Still not too late to back up. 

Thanks

Barry
