Hello All,
During a search for belt replacement help, I found that a few folks here have this model Delta lathe. I just had to replace the belt on mine, and before I put the cover back on, I wanted to give it a little TLC on the inside-- maybe some lubrication. Based on some tell tale signs I see in there (dried grease at the ends of some shafts), it had some in the early part of its life. I check the manual, but the only 'maintenance' shown there is the belt replacement.
Can anyone recommend which parts I should lubricate and with what?. Based on the old stuff, it looks like it should be lubricated with white lithium grease. I could just lube the parts I think I should, but I don't want to lube anything I shouldn't, and more importantly I don't want to miss anything.
Speed adjust pulley... It looks like there are two or three shafts to the left of the large speed adjust pulley wheel that may need lubricated.
Motor shaft... I was also wondering about the motor shaft and right side pully. Should that be lub under the spring so the right pulley wheel move back and forth more freely?
Thanks for the help!
John
