Dimension for a imperial screw:
¼ -20x1 ½”

Does this mean screw size 1/4", thread is 20tpi and length of screw is 1 1/2 " ?

Yes, a very common fastener over here.

From the oil cups the drawings shows oil wicks.
Im not familiar with their use on a machine like this, but i guess its for a form of constant lubrication.

There are no oil wicks on the machine now, i wonder if anyone know dimensions and where to get them ?
Or maybe theres a modern alternative ?

92 SCG-77 Oil Wick
112 VSL-6 Oil Wick

According to vintagemachinery my machine could be from 1944 if i understand it correctly.

Any opinions ?

The wicks keep the machine lubricated while keeping the oil from just running out.Nice machine!
With all the original parts needed for the motor, it may be less expensive to buy a new one, $110 range is what I paid.

That's how I'd interpret the date. Thanks for the link! I've had mine for 35 years, never knew the date of manufacture. Gonna check once I get out of work.

Status so far:
Got a package from the US with the Belt guard (rear) and two step motor pulley.
Parts were in good condition and well packed.
Motor pulley didnt fit, its probably not the orginal motor.
I will have to turn a adapter sleeve on my lathe.
Thx to Keith for the parts.

I have more parts coming my way, Belt guard cover, motor cover and Wheel guard (rear).
Coming via container boat, so might take some time.

What im still missing is:

• 12 SCG-9 Wheel Guard (cover)

Bearings for Dayton 4K858P was 6203Z

In case you do not know, 6203Z has a shield on one side only. ZZ would mean double shielded, S would be single synthetic rubber seal, SS double rubber seals.
