Hi all,
I just bought a Clausing 4914, was wondering what Mobil oil you guys use in the headstock for the Timken bearings on the spindle? I have it narrowed down to Mobile 26 DTE, then there is 25 DTE and 24 DTE. The way oil, I found out is Mobil Vactra #2. Then there is the open gear grease, that being Mobilux #2. Can anybody offer some help on this, especially the hydraulic oil for the spindle bearings. Thanks,
...And I know it did'nt happen if there are no pictures, so I'm working on that right now. Gotta get a precision 6" level soon, so I am working on that too. Then there is powering up the lathe, and that is a whole new thread, geez, just in a little over my head right now.
