All of the old machines thread about the same and require oil in the same places (wherever two moving metal parts touch, except for gears which require lubricant instead of oil). I buy thrift shop machines to fix up for a non-profit and rarely need to look for a thread diagram or oiling diagram; they are all so similar. Here is a link to a diagram that works for many machines:

Thank you so much for your advise. I really don't know how to sew very good. I kind of just fake it. But the last time I tried to thread it, it didn't work. I don't see this model on the websites that you have sent and I can't really make out what they are telling me to do. I know, what a goof, huh? HA! HA! I will just keep on trying till I figure it out I suppose. Thanks for your help though.

Experiment. That's how I've figured out some machines. Be aware that the bobbin thread is supposed to go in a specific direction; one thing you might not think to try is turning the bobbin over so the thread comes off from the opposite direction.
Also, if you can post specifically what goes wrong when you thread it, we may be able to help. If it doesn't form a stitch at all, sometimes that means that the timing is off and needs to be adjusted by a technician; the problem may not be the threading.

Most models from the same manufacturer thread the same, especially if they are close in model #.
