Thanks
According to
http://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/motors/ BAK motors were for 15K, 99K, 185K, 201K23, 306K I looked at my 306 and it has a BA 3 motor. When I looked at the 306W25 service manual I found this tidbit of information on page 77. Found manual at
http://parts.singerco.com/IPsvcManuals/
"On all latest machines shipped from the factory, the two grease tubes Y7, Fig. 153 have been eliminated.
The motor requires no lubrication."
I gather that you do not have a manual that came with your particular machine.
