Don't quote me but I don't think you need to lubricate the TB-3. What is
describe sounds like how mine felt new.

Hi TTers,
I got that Rohn 45 tilt-over down and home last week. In remarkably good
condition. Only thing I wondering about is the TB3 thrust bearing and how to
lubricate it. It turns freely but has a notable rumbling sound and feel to
it. I notice at the bottom of the inside shaft area where to mast passes
through, is a recessed Allan head fitting/plug. Would this be the place to
remove and squirt in some white grease? And then replace the plug?
Thanks for your guidance,
Kathy
