I have a G&E 16" "Industrial" Shaper that I need to get back into service. Someone cut the electricals from the motor to the shaper, but that will be a different can of worms.
I just dipped out 5+ gallons of what looks like motor oil from the base of the shaper and plan on refilling with diesel fuel to clean out all the lines etc. To get to the point: On the rear section of the table there are 2-oilers, the one on the right has a hose coming out the top with a copper tube that has been crimped shut. Can anyone let me know how the lubrication for this part of the shaper is supposed to be run?
You can see the access hole that is on the back side of the table support, it has a hose going into the main base of the shaper and is attached to the oil system. What is marked Left Oiler is directly above this area with the rubber hose w/crimped off copper end. At this point I would just want to get the shaper running. Paint etc. will be well down the road.
