Grease
I am in the process of refurbishing a 1950 Delta-Rockwell drill press.It
has an auxiliary speed reducer that has a very weird ball bearing to hold the step pulley. If I could even find a replacement I don't even want to know what it would cost. It would cost more than the machine is worth. They wanted $50 to $60 for the motor bearings which I am replacing with cheaper ones and sone machined spacers. It is a sealed bearing. I have cleaned out all the old hardened grease after removing the shields. As it is in a semi-protected area and as I have no way of replacing the shields, what type of grease should I repack it with?: Wheel bearing grease, molly, or? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Chuck P. Greetings Chuck, Does the bearing have an extended race? If it does then it may be available from an outfit the sells Walker-Turner replacement parts. Their name is Walker Turner Serviced Machinery LLC. Their email is Later, Eric |
