Early South Bend Shaper Lubrication

[Refuse1]

I recently bought an early 7" South Bend Shaper that was manufactured before they built them with a oil sump and lubrication pump. It is in "mint" condition and seems to have been used very little. I am hoping to find a manual that shows the recommended lubrication procedure. If anyone has any any suggestions, I'd sure appreciate it.

Here's the manual for later version. Though not exactly what you are looking for.... Page 25 talks about lubrication and specs.... You could at least apply the specified lubricant manually all the parts.

Welcome to the shaper club!

Just squirt oil on anything that moves (the proper grade oil, of course, something like Mobil Vactra #2.

Just use way oil like benmychree above said, and iso 68 hydraulic fluid (don't use the anti-wear type the sulfur it contains will destroy bronze bearings) on everything that spins....
