Oliver redesigned the 299 to the square corner casting in the 1960's.? It is possible that grease was used rather than oil, even for the cutter bearings.? I'll find out.? I had a late model 299 but memory fails me.? My Oliver jointer ran iso 68 but the planer
might be grease.? Chuck Hess should know for sure.? He has a thread on a rehab of a 299 .? Look for Hesswoodworks.? Dave

Amazing. Thank you david! I could not find the info for the life of me.
Being a later end of the second generation design (1968 or so), everything has zerk fittings.
