I’m servicing my Harrison Milling machine and wondering if anyone knows the correct oil volume for the vertical head attachment? I can’t tell from the sight gauge when it’s correct. I put in 300ml but it leaked out until about 150ml was left in it. About 500ml fills it to the brim.
At the rear there is a rotating cup type arrangement which is there to seal the rear of the head but it leaks. I’m in two minds if this is only because I’ve over filled it or whether it is worn a little and allowing oil to pass. From looking at the design it doesn’t look like it would stop oil from slowly passing as there is no actual seal. I’ve taken it out and cleaned it but apart from that not much else I could do.
