oil used for Heidelberg windmill

What kind of oil are others using in their Heidelberg windmills? And, does anyone know the exact count of how many red oil holes and grease nipples there are (also yellow and green)? I’m sure I’m missing some and the paint is worn off many. Is there an oiling diagram available anywhere? None of my manuals have it.

Thanks,
Heather

I use (SAE 30 non-detergent oil).

I think you will find that the black pump gun is not a grease gun, but an oil gun. Put the same oil in it as noted above. Be sure the press is not running when using this pump oiler to put oil on the speed clutch that is on the motor (oil nipple is right on the end of the shaft on operators side of press. Also machine should not be running when oiling anyway, for safety. Always oil - then wipe excess with a rag to keep machine looking nice.

Calvinc,

Where would I find one of those oil guns. I’ve been using another method that works but is not as efficient.

If I were shopping for one, I would first go to (donblacklinecasting.com). Good Luck.
