i am bring a grinder back to use after many years of sitting.
serial number 6P4H5KV-3 14LX96

i got all functions operating. the machine is metric on the dials and i believe french on the placards...

anyways, i want to change the spindle oil. velocite #10.
in the book i have, which may or may not be correct for this machine indicated there should be a petcock and drain, and a filler neck. i have not located either... this grinder has a balancer on it.. I'm guessing the drain is behind the wheel guard, but i figured i would see if someone has done this recently...
 
so i found the drain, and it really wasnt a big deal. i was just looking in completely the wrong location.
the oil was definitely ready for a swap. on the plus side i found a tool someone made and they labeled it
"infeed thrust tool". i'm sure it will be a useful item one day.


i work on a lot of machines but not that much on grinders... i have a book but its very vague...
add the quanity of 5 gallons listed in this book or fill to the filler tube?

thanks. if anyone is interested i'll post a picture of the tool
