Shaper Head Question

[Pfergus2]

Would anyone know of an available oil, today's equivalent, for the shaper head gearbox?

Thanks in advance.

Without having any other specifications, I'd use a SAE 20 wt/ISO 68, machine oil.

I don't know where I got this image of the manual, but I'll attach it here.
I have some notes that it required "600W steam engine cylinder oil" which would be Mobil SHC 634 or Shell Omala S1 460. I also have a note to not tois oils with EP additives since they break down bronze/brass bushings.

Great. Appreciate you digging this up for me.
