Is it ok to pack these bearings and the axle bearings with wheel bearing grease ? Am I right that they get oil that splashes off the oil tube after it comes off the bull gear ? THANKS !!

there is no need to put grease on the bearings... Everything inside is designed to be lubed by the splash system.... does not hurt to squirt some oil on the bearings as you assemble.

Okay thanks Steve . I guess universal hydraulic/trans would be good ?

Some people use gear lube in the final drives, some use UTF..... Seems to work in 3-400 HP tractors so should be fine in a D15.
