Hi all.
We have a Lance lathe-made in Spain, where I work.
It looks like the model is called Zubal.
It's in very nice shape for its age. Had a very
easy life.
I just noticed that the headstock oil is very low.
I've been looking at a very dark shadow on the sight glass
for some time.
The last time I had the headstock cover off, the oil was abit on the low side. But oil seemed to be getting splashed in all the right places.
One thing I do remember though is that the oil seemed to be ATF oil
\and reddish in colour.
I think its time to drain out the old oil give it a bit of a clean
and start with some fresh oil. Onyone know what oil is recommended
for this lathe? We don't have the manual.
