Those cases are often very brittle. Carry it from the bottom.

I would like to know this, too:

Do you know what kind of grease I can use to put in the big round plugs? The manual says Singer Motor Lubricant, but I imagine something else would work too.

The modern "Singer Motor Lubricant" is not the same as what it was for the 15-91 and 210-2. Consequently, the recommendation is to use Petroleum Jelly. There are a couple of Featherweight places that have come out with a lubricant that is supposed to duplicate the old Singer lubricant, but Petroleum Jelly is less expensive, easier to find and works well for the grease ports.

The link that LeonF referred to Respond if you have a Singer 15-91 and specifically posts https://www.quiltingboard.com/vintag...ml#post8184102 and https://www.quiltingboard.com/vintag...ml#post8184168 are good. Additionally for potted motors like the 15-91 and 201-2 http://vssmb.blogspot.com/2012/01/co...ted-motor.html is a good resource. I think there is a lot of good information on http://vssmb.blogspot.com regarding vintage machines.

Check the original manual for your machine. Singer specifically said NOT to use petroleum jelly (Vaseline) as a lubricant.
