I found an old pump type oiler in our old garage today and decided to clean it up a bit. While doing that I took the pump apart, and noticed that the piston has two grooves spaced about half an inch apart. No O rings. The grooves look too small to accommodate O rings but....maybe not.
Like this:
The outer cylinder is swaged down at the bottom and has a bearing ball & a spring in there to act as a check valve. It looks bog-simple so hard to believe it won't work, at least sort of.
Do I need to look around for one or two O rings for this? I want to load it with way oil. The nozzle on the cheap plastic squeeze bottle that came with my mill broke so I need something better to dispense the oil.
