Really P.V., you must get out more!

Or get cable.

GENERALLY, motors with screw plugs have sealed bearings. The end caps
are used with sealed and lubable. Some of the ones with zerks specify
OIL, not grease. Use an oil gun like on your Myford lathe.

This makes a lot of sense. I will make sure to call the motor mfr's and see
what's up.
But I never heard/saw of an oil gun--no Myford lathe, I spose. .
So I looked in MSC. Where your std. grease gun is $10-20, an oil gun is
$105!! goodgawd....
Any improvisations I can make, if I indeed need an oil gun?
