Some pics attached, I want to re-wire it and clean it up. From googling I think its a 15-91 because of the motor on the side and no belt, but all the pics I see they have a connector on the back where mine just has an empty screw hole?

To me it looks like a Singer 15-91. If so I have connector and the plug for it if you want it.

Awesome, I thought so but wasn't sure because of the missing connector. I'd love them if you have them! How much do you think?

Also, the big round plugs coming down on each side of the wheel are to take the very bottom lid off and re-grease up in each one. Then put the lid back on. I'm sure you know this. LOL

I just took apart the wheel and started cleaning and saw that! The inside of the wheel is disgusting with gunk, like a hardened grease that I've been slowly working out with a toothbrush lol.

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.

Also is it okay to oil the worm(?) Gear that rotates, I put some in last night while breaking up the gunk on it to get it moving, but then I thought oops is this part of the motor, maybe I shouldn't use sewing oil

This is probably the most thorough tutorial for rewiring a 15-91. http://vssmb.blogspot.com/2012/01/co...ted-motor.html . He takes you step by step through it all. Don't use sewing machine oil in the gearworm to break up the old nasty grease. Rubbing alcohol will work great.
