Another 1100 sickle bar mower question

Well, I'm slowly making some progress. I spent about 2 hours pressure washing all the old grease/grime/dirt off of the old girl today. Pulled the sickle and the guards and got both ordered from Case/IH dealer. I'm going to replace the whole shootin' match.
So a couple of questions, the Case/IH dealer couldn't find exactly the right match on the sickle hold/downs (for lack of a better term) the half loop deals that hold the sickle down to the bar and running close to the ledger plates. Anyone know a part number? They had a couple I could look at but not exactly the same size/type. Also, I popped the small access cap on the wobble box and found one grease fitting in there and gave it 2 pumps of grease. Is that the only one in there? Also, is there supposed to be any gear oil/lubricant in the wobble box itself, or just the grease fitting?
Thanks
 
Couple of hints. The manual is available from IH.
The knife pin that connects the knife to the balanced head has a grease zerk. Hit that every 2-3 hours. After you get all the guards and the bar reinstalled, run the mower at about 2/3 speed at rest. Then shut down and feel for hotspots, and look for shiney spots. These spots need readjustment. (too tight).
Balanced head has three zerks for lube. The bottom one gets 10 strokes of the gun. Do not use hi pressure gun here.
New guards don't have the serrated ledger plates so you need serrated (on top) sections. Under the knife clips you should install the steel wearing plates, lip down. and just barely touching the knife.

I have seen some wobble boxes with 3 zerks (2 under caps, 1 on the back by the pulley) and some that don't have the bottom cap in the front of the box.

Here's info on greasing:

We use the steel hold downs, not the cast iron ones. They are a higher loop than some to clear our bolt-on sections. Sorry I can't help with a part number.
