Idcook asked(PM) about the location of the oil holes in case his Greenie does not have them.

[ATTACH]24217[/ATTACH]

The diameter is about 1/8".

These are oem and the hole is opposite the keyway. I think over the keyway is a better location, but that is just gut feel.

Note the floating sheave(left) has been marked to make the hole easier to find after the spring is reattached.

Drilling these holes is not easy due to the close spacing. A very long bit or extension is needed.

Thanks JPG. This is far from where and what I’d thought these holes might be.

I’ll check my set-up as soon as I can and proceed accordingly.

(I’d asked in PM only in order to avoid disrupting the other thread discussion with my personal concern. Thanks again!)

Do not be concerned with 'disrupting' others on this forum with stuff important to thee! There are/will be others with the same concerns and your bringing it out will help them.

Besides tis better to have an open discussion in case the 'advisor' is confused!:D

I agree completely!

Check, and double check!

Thanks again.
