Hello friends.
I've searched for this answer and can't find it.
I've disassembled the apron for overhaul.
The book says to replace the felt wick in the cross feed drive and traverse gear shafts. It shows a photo of felt wicks in a slot that seems to run part way down the shaft then into a hole. It also says they might not be there and don't worry about it if they are not present.
My shafts have tunnels drilled from the face of the shaft and diagonally through the shaft, exiting out the side.
When I took it apart, there were no felt wicks in those tunnels.
Should those tunnels have felt wicks? Has anyone ever seen that?
Sorry. I can't post a photo right now. I will try to get one tomorrow.
