Where are the grease pots?
Still working on my 99k - it's looking very good.[ATTACH=CONFIG]511038[/ATTACH] The last thing I want to do is put grease in the motor, but I don't see where to put it in. These pics show both sides:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]511039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]511040[/ATTACH]. Can anyone give me some help on this? I've looked up "grease motor" but all the threads have so many posts to go through - didn't find anything that looked like this motor.
The motor works, the needle bar goes up and down, just need the motor greased then I'll wind a bobbin and try to actually sew on it!

No grease pots on this motor. Oil if any would be sparingly used on both ends of motor shaft bearings being careful not to get any on brushes, armature, and commutator. Singer was fairly unique in using melting "lube" to oil bearings and is not universally done. Good Luck.
