Very Good!
The lube chart says Teflon grease. What brand/type are people using. The
reason I ask is that I'm getting another headstock that has the back-gear
and I'll need to overhaul it.

Subject: [southbendlathe] Trick for Greasing Head and Backgear Shafts on 9"
SB Lathe
If you have tried to grease the Spindle Pulley shaft and Backgear shaft on
your SB, you will find two 1/4" x 20 plugs which you need to remove to
fill
with grease. There is no grease nipple to attach your grease so it make it
very hard to do.
I made a grease fitting adapter by drilling a 1/8" hole through a 1/4" x
20
UNC Hex head bolt and silver soldiering a standard grease nipple to the
end.
If you do not have torches you can drill and tap the grease fitting into
the
end of the bolt.
To use, just remove the grease plugs and screw in your adapter. Pump full
of
grease and remove. Works Great.
See picture of my adapter.
Hope this helps.
