Searched the forum but did not find the answer: how many lubrication points are there for DC motor and motor generator?
On my 49 10EE, there are two zerks on pipe extensions, one appears to go to either the front bearing in the DC generator, or the rear bearing in the AC drive motor. The other goes to the rear bearing for the 3HP Reliance drive motor.
However, the manual I have (for a 58 Wiad machine) has this to say:
Motor Generator and Exciter (Back of cover - three grease fittings - see footnote). The footnote says: No longer furnished. Electronic converter now standard.
Main drive motor Grease every 12 mos. Sealed bearings, use caution to prevent seal blowout.
So I seem to be missing some grease points.
