atlas 10" headstock reassembly

 

hi all, I am at the stage where i think i can put the headstock back together.? As allways with these things i have done some research into what grease to use for the timkin bearings and ending up learning far too much and still none the wiser.
?
what grease should i use please?
many thanks
 

Mine wants spindle oil, not grease. Only place that uses grease is the shaft bearings for the countershaft.? SAE10 non-detergent oil is specified in the older manuals & lube charts. SAE20 for later references.?

Look in files for the lube chart.

No grease on spindle bearings!?
Use spindle oil. I use Zoom Spout oil.
