Seems like a good solution....I have used the various lengths of grease gun hoses (with fittings) where possible, such as the ball bearing type main clutch release bearing and the later steering clutch release bearings on the D4/D6.
Be interesting to see if the "glue in" version holds up.
Cat used to offer a kit for this purpose. I know I put one in a 5U many years ago, It was quite affordable at that time. I am sure it would be exhorbidant today. As I recall the hose was threaded on one end where it went through the case to the grease fitting and had a banjo fitting on the other end that replaced the funnel on the bearing cage. It might be shown in the parts book. I don't have one handy.
