I recently picked-up this Oliver Wood Lathe. I think it has what are called plain or Journal Bearings.
It does not have a model number it has a shop number.There are two holes on the back of the head stock
that use thumb screws are these for adding lubrication? It appears to have been greased rather than oiled.
Between the sleeves there is an oversized ring is it intended to splash lube on the shaft? Any recommendations on lubing this lathe? I have attached some photos any and all comments and suggestions are welcome, thanks, boomerx
