I started greasing my B7200, and noticed there are grease fittings at the top and bottom of the right cylinder, but no grease fittings on the left side. It looks like there never has been. Is this normal to only have grease fittings on one side of the bucket cylinders?

Normally there are grease fittings on each end of each cylinder. You may have to reposition the bucket to make them accessible or they may be on the end rather than the side but should be somewhere. You may need to check the manual for locations or even ask the dealer.

B1630 loader on my B7200 has zerks on all cylinder pins.

No.

Someone probably replaced that cylinder and didn't install zerks. You need them
But look really close for the zerks, and for a plug in a predrilled hole. Check top and bottom, before drilling and tapping and adding zerks.
Edit: Sometimes they'll be on the outside pin connection on the loader arms.

The cylinder may be mounted incorrectly so compare it to the other side?

I guess it could be a Right hand on the left side thing?

Sometimes the zerks get broken off. If it's not that clean you have to look pretty hard to see the holes.
