Welcome K L
There are numerous Clausing owners on this site and brino has described the web site well. I have a Clausing 100 MK lll that I will part with the day I die. There are three "not so obvious " lubrication points on these lathes, two are in the back gear compartment- 1 is on the back gear shaft (gears running on it); 2nd is in the drive pulley on the head shaft (spindle) a screw is removed to allow oiling of the bushings in the pulleys when using the back gear mode. The third is on the outboard end of the feed screw that moves the carriage. Mine is under the gear cover which has a hole to allow an oil can nozzle access. Good luck- my Dad put a short piece of 1/4" copper tubing from the bearing up through the gear cover. Enjoy your machining adventures !
