    drip feed oiler on Myford counter shaft

    drip feed oiler on Myford counter shaft

    Overhaul of another South Bend, a light ten

    Great rehab job Tom. I need to do the same with my Heavy 10, and it is good to see you tackle yours. I like the paint scheme also. Atypical, but very nicely done. Nelson
