Could not find the Honda thread where greasing the nub ends going out out of the auger gearbox was discussed so posting here.
The issue was a shear pin could break and the nub turn inside the rake reaming the rake ID larger. The dealer said they are greased at the factory. Grease there was not a maitenance item but when doing a service he includes putting grease there. He said there were no issues of wear from shearing a pin and screwing up the rake.
