Hi, from the ML10/Speed 10 handbook lubrication chart
"Headstock spindle bearings, front and rear, lubricate every 4 to 6 months, till lubricant begins to ooze from bearings: use a light lithium based grease. NLGI No 2, eg Castrol LM grease"
Hope this helps

Bad form to answer yor own post but forgot to say, if you need a copy of the lubrication chart send me an e-mail and I'll get one to you.
