Yes, the cap is to lube a bushing.
128 has electric lift as a option, not hydro. If it’s me, add spring assist or make a cool custom hydro lift!

Re: cub 128
If you mean the aluminum end frame it's a through hole but it should be plugged. There should be a small welsh plug installed. It can be pulled out and a oil cup can be installed. 10 or 20 weight motor oil would be fine. Don't overdo it with the oil, it will contaminate the brushes inside.
FYI, the bushing looks like this. Very hard to find, if you do their pricy. I whipped up a batch a couple years ago. Yes, the slot for the wick is offset and at an angle.
