ZZDOG, You should get the manual for your lathes, but for now there is a plate on the Quick Change Gear Box that has the model number of the lathe. Please post the model # of each of your lathes so that we can be of more help. I can tell you for sure that if the model # starts with 65, then they have sealed ball bearings, and the headstock oil is there only to lube the 2 back gears and should be gear oil. Good luck, JR49
EDIT' ZZDOG, I just saw that you started a new thread with the model # 's , and I have something you just might like! Its a PDF copy of the 6560 manual. Not sure if its the complete version, but it will definitely get you started. I'm not great with computers, but am sure if you get me you're E-mail address, I will be able to send it to you. JR49
