I like it you may want to pick up a quick release tip for your grease gun so much easier to get the tip off

[@sharkrivermachine]

You are right about that. I may have one. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Nice job! Interesting - my Atlas lathe has Oilite bushings on its counter-sharft. The Atlas directions say to use SAE 20. It was made in about 1954. I wonder when Atlas made the change.

[@sharkrivermachine]

I am not sure about that. I also have a 618 Atlas lathe and the counter shaft of that has the oilite bushings. Thank you for watching and commenting.

The spray pattern on the wall looks like you have been keeping it greased ok. 😊

[@sharkrivermachine]

You could say that. thanks for watching and commenting.

looks a good mod. im actively trying to get rid of al the zerk fittings on the roller. grease cups are messy tho.

[@sharkrivermachine]

Sounds like a plan. Wish that I could help out on the roller. Thanks for watching and commenting.
