I searched for this and came up pretty much empty. How do you lubricate the inside the power feed gear case. My manual simply says to apply a few drops the the feed gear case bearing. Don't the gears inside there need lubrication as well? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure which manual you have but check MMB 5 ... REV 3 in the Atlas\Mill\Manuals folder (Category) of DOWNLOADS. Look at Page 7 (manual page, not PDF page), Paragraph 16. It isn't very detailed but there is more than what you quoted.

The grease recommended was a Keystone product (I'd have to look up the number). But Keystone was bought out by TOTAL OIL MARINE (pronounced "tow-tal" (long "O":, short "A")), who discontinued the grease. I have been using a Lubriplate thick white grease (Lithium instead of Graphite) for the past 35+ years. I think that it was #105 but the stamped model number on the can is no longer legible.
