[Mill] Heald horizontal mill, recently acquired

Thanks. I'm very happy to have found this old quality machine and give it a home in my shop.

Since getting it home I've spent time cleaning it up. These pictures are from the seller's shop where it had accumulated a little rust on some of the hand-wheels and handles/knobs. All fixed up now.

The table appears original. The previous owner took very good care of his machines and for that I'm lucky (and also paid a premium). But who knows, the machine is from the 1950's so a new table could have happened sometime since then.

The vertical head has 4 grease zerks on it. Any recommendations for grease? I need to squeeze some in there.
