Mentioned in the "update on wire brushing" post, I have a 1/2 HP,
110v, Peerless motor that looks maybe 50 years old. It works fine. It
has special ports for lubrication, with little doors that open upwards
and where you just drip some lubricant. They are not grease gun
fittings, they just open up and you can add oil.
My question is, what oil and how much.

Go to the hardware and get a can of 3in1 electric motor oil. It will have a
pic of an electric motor on the label. Put about 5 drops in each port for
starts and repeat once a year.

Randal, thanks, I will buy just that.
