marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...I'am the person who first put the Quarter down the empty hole, after first putting an amount of grease in. The Quarter does 2 things besides being a Perfect Fit and everybody has one; it first keeps dirt/dust/grit from entering the 'Rod Sliding' Bushings(from the top side anyway; Second, the slight 'penny weight' will cause the grease to CONSTANTLY ooze through the 1/4" hole at the bottom. In effect, becoming an 'Automatic lubricating device' for the shift rod, at that point. Karlc, you need to Know that as long as you leave the 'Spring Cup' in; the grease you have packed on top, will not get past the cup, and will have NO lubricating effect. Regards, Marlin.
