Case 580sl Pivot point without grease point???

Hello, was wondering if anyone could explain why there is no grease needed for the pivot shown in picture? I have a lot of slop in this area and have ordered the new parts. When I disassembled it to check the pins and bushings, I found a lot of rust and pitting. Thanks!

    Have somebody operate the bucket up and down while you watch that pivot point. I bet it barely rotates, they probably wipe on a layer of grease during assembly and leave it at that.
