Help How much oil?
#20
The headstock appears to have 2 sight glasses in it, that probably means they are for 2 separate chambers (?), anyway, I would suggest
you fill the chambers to halfway up the sight glasses.
As for what kind of oil I would suggest a 20 or 30 wt. non detergent oil (detergent oil may free up contamination presently harmlessly stuck
to the the walls/bottom of the castings). Chin

There Vinny, how's that for a stab at an answer? 17428
