Re: What do I have here
Also used on farm equipment and line shaft bearings. That's the first time I've seen one with a square shaft and spring to keep the cap positioned in quarter turn increments. It may have been used on some machine that had a lot of vibration. I've never heard of a cap unscrewing before from ordinary running, even on my hit and miss connection rod grease cup.

Clutch release bearing lubrication for 1932-34. Not sure if used on all models - 1933 4-cylinder had it for sure. One of the experts like DavidG on the EV8 forum will likely know for sure

Re: What do I have here
That's all I could imagine it was used for, but how does a stationary filling lube a sliding part?

Re: What do I have here
Is there any service instructions with this installation that would verify my theory in post # 6?
For sure less vibration here than bouncing around on a rod bearing cap. John Last edited by aermotor; 03-06-2017 at 07:02 AM. Reason: added comment |

Re: What do I have here
Post # 1: "Is it a grease thingamajigi ?"
----- The correct name is 'whatchmacallit', Latin, from the Greek "whazit", from the original Sanskrit "Dohickee". But for our purposes, 'thingamjogi' will work. Some like to shorten the word to 'thingamajig' leaving off the last letter (i). |
