Reply to "AF diesel die cast axle bushing replacement"

Whenever I am going to run a diesel that has been stored for a while I always give it a light overhaul which includes a lubrication. It is possible that a lot of people will lube the axles and put some grease on the gear but the two items that seem to get neglected are the bearings on the armature. Although they are olite bearings I still give them a small drop of oil,  maybe this why I don't have any problems with them. I use a syringe with a fine needle that has the pointy bit on the end ground off and this gets right onto the armature shaft next to the bearings.
