Just dug mine out of the "stuff" pile and I can't see anyplace for either a Zerk or a hose fitting. Typical Eagle, they changed things around a bit over the years. Mine is an '85 Model 10 Houston Metro bus. I have found some things different from normal Model 10 and Houston Metro.

You're in the ballpark. The part we are calling the hub is bolted to the top of the large a-frame that supports the fan. It is partially covered by the fan if I remember right.
