I have been pouring over the information here and other places, and PDF documents from many years, as I can find them, regarding lubrication of my SB 13. My problem is my lathe does not have the spindle lube cups on the side like every document/picture seems to depict and discuss. My oil cups are on the top of the bearing caps. I am thinking I need new felts because the spindle oil goes down quickly and leaks out the sides but cannot find any info about what I need to get and the procedure for installation. I am trying to avoid removing the bearing caps unless I have to, as I have read this is not recommended if you don't know the procedure and it is not absolutely necessary.
Thanks,
Chris
