Hey all, I am getting ready to put a new motor on my TOS FNK 25 vertical mill, which is belt drive, but has a 10:1 gear reduction in the head. The previous owner had just pumped endless grease into the head, some of it had hardened, very nasty. I took the 6 hours to tear it right down, and clean it down to bare metal. Should I use grease or oil in there? There seems to be drain ports for excess oil, and there are zerks everywhere, which I am told use oil.
I was going to go with either Shell Gadus 220 or 450, or for oil, ISO 68 or gear oil (70-140w).
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
