Joe, I read with interest your idea to use sewing machine oil only on motor oil ports on this Kenmore. I have a Kenmore like this and plan to mech it soon. Do you know if sewing machine oil is safe to use on other machines in motor oil ports? I have a Featherweight that calls for Singer machine oil lubricant.
Also, on this Kenmore, how does one get into the inner workings? Is there a place to put a screwdriver and pry the top off, for instance? Is there a trick to get the handwheel off? I'm presuming there are gears to be greased behind it.
Thanks!
