ok, so i am starting the process to rebuild several 1960's era
craftsman
equipment, starting with the jointer.

i have the motor dissasembled, it wasnt too bad but needed a little
cleaning. bearings roll nicely, and were not too dirty.

my question is how much and what kind of grease should i use? will
regular
bearing grease be ok? its made for very high temps ........

At a minimum, replace the bearings since you probably have already
brinnelled the races getting the motor apart.

Brinelling will often go undetected until the motor is reassembled and
the motor placed under load.

At that point, the motor will start sounding like a threshing machine.

Bearing replacement is standard practice when rebuilding a motor.

These bearings will be 203 size, the lowest cost bearings made.
