Checking out an old hacksaw

You might want to check each oil port and see what the oil inside looks like. I usually dip in a pipe cleaner. I'm thinking you might want to remove the old oil with a siphon or syringe and replace it. I copied this from the manual because there are so many oil ports.

LUBRICATION

Lubricate regularly by putting 3 to 4 drops of SAE 30 oil into each of the seven oil holes. Locations are:

One on the lifting arm.
Three on the saw head.
Two on the main slide.
One on the main raising lever.

YUPP it's more important to keep the working parts lubed then shiny. Oilers need oil daily when used. Congrats nice machines.

And one inside a hole in the crank wheel. You have to turn the crank wheel to find it.
