Hey Pat,
20 weight non-detergent should be fine. 3 and 1 makes a "motor oil" that is 20wND.

Hey Pat,

The backside of the tag says:

"Remove screw where (oil) appears.
Place tablespoon of Medium Grade
Low Pourtest Oil every 1 1/2 months
Replace screw
It is necessary occasionally to place
a few drops of oil in motor bearing.
A standard number 20 W motor
oil will also prove satisfactory."

Creighton was spot on!

Thank you Boys for all your help   :smile:
 I would sure like to get a copy of that tag so I could get one or two made
(Hint Hint Hint  Tom :biggrin:)  just a photo copy would work  .
 If you want and have the time  :smile:.
