Disassembled the apron cleaned out the crude and varnish build up and reassembled it. It appears to have removed a lot of the stiffness that existed. Found no broken pieces or excessive ware.
It looks like your apron has an oil level fill plug there at 4 o'clock. Feel under the center-bottom and see if you have a 1/4 NPT (?) oil drain plug. If so, you need to fill the apron until oil comes out the level plug hole. I'm not sure of the correct grade, but in my book any oil is better than no oil. My carriage ran soooo much smoother with oil in it.
