Enco 110-2031 Lathe, wiring setup

There should be a drain. Pull off the cover over the gears on the drive end. I have a 1994 version 1236 Tida lathe, and that's where the drain is. The sight glass is plastic, and you can reseal it using RTV. If you need a new one, I think this is the same...

For oil, my lathe manual says to use DTE Lite. Not hydraulic oil. R&O lubricating oil.

My luck the plastic would break. Are new ones available? Also will this drain both ends of the spindle and how much oil is in there?

There are only two small reservoirs, one at each end. Both sight glasses need to be removed. Use a razor blade at first then a putty knife. They shouldn’t be difficult to remove. Maybe 2-3 Tbsp of oil total will come out (if ours are the same)
