I'll post here & couple other places.....
How I tell which rollers my machine has? A few months ago someone was looking my tractor over & as I recall mentioned that it had newer rollers, or upgraded rollers on it, or updated, or something.
My books & other info say to use 00 grease in the Button Head fittings on my rollers & idlers.
As I understand, the 00 grease has a sticky characteristic to it that helps etc.

Anyway, I been fiddling with this thing & now getting ready to start working it.....trying to get things greased & ready.
Every roller on it has regular threaded plugs with square head (for 3/8 ratchet or something)
I don't know if it has different (newer style) rollers that's been changed out along the way, or if just different plugs in them????
The front idler is the only thing I've found that has Button Head fitting on it.

Anyway, kinda like to do things right. Easier & cheaper to learnright way now, vs learn right way after I've tore everything up.... Thanks
James

The other posts are probably right but: I ran an old 6 with grease type rollers, where the owner didn't have button fittings so he took a tip from Toyota and other auto manufacturers. One fitting that you moved from roller to roller, replacing with a plug as you moved on. Hmmmm. Take out a plug and see what's in there, nothing bad will happen.

From your description rollers are sealed type and need no other lubrication[until they leak]
any button head fittings should be greased with
what is called a volume compressor,then only pumped until resistance is achieved ,meaning bearing cavity is filled ,any high pressure method may burst seals .[Using a regular high pressure grease gun not recommended ,definitely not until grease is pumped out.]In absence of regular roller grease, I would use 140 gear oil or heavier,providing seals are still intact.

I don't think anybody makes grease-rollers anymore. New replacements are usually oil-filled.
If you DID have an old grease-roller with button-heads - many used to get pumped up with gear oil until "track and roller" grease came out.
