Ok, so I got the drill in place in my shop. Quite the ordeal because my machine shop is at the back of my barn in a small heated area. I wired it in to my phase converter. It runs great, all feeds work and the new leadscrew makes the up and down run really smooth.
My question, the oil in the site glass is at the proper level. There is a tube at the top that I expect to be a oil return line? Oil should be running from this tube while the motor is running? Its not. On my K&T mill it has basically the same sight glass and you can see oil running from a tube in there.
This drill has not been used in years . Do you think the oil pump needs to be primed somehow? I took the fill cover off and squirted oil in the gearbox to make sure everything is coated in oil so its not running dry while I tested it.
Has anyone here ran a Mas radial drill before that could give me some direction on this?
I posted this question on another site and a kind fellow from Denmark has been trying to send me a manual, but I cant open his attachments for some reason. He is going to copy the parts list from the manual so I can at least get an idea how the oil pump works.
Cheers
Martin
