Clipper 27 cleaner

Wasn't sure where to post this to ask.

I have a Clipper 27 cleaner. AT Ferrell has no information. Its not got any oil cups with spring lid on the main shaft flange bearings. Old downloaded manual shows part # F924 11031

Saw a friends 27 yesterday his has the oil cups. I've used a pick and can't even find a hole. Later, will take some brake cleaner and mirror over and another pick and try to find holes. Just thought Id ask if anyone knew anything about this.

The bushing may have rotated in the housing, so the hole is not
lined up. The main drive shaft should have grease cups, and oil
cups as well. The fan shaft has oil cups. Ferrell used to have
parts diagram online.
Those oil cups are expensive, something like $5 each.

The bushing was turned in the housing. Hole was full of gunk. Didn't seem to find any threads, so I'm assuming that oil cup just drives in.

I'm doing this without removing the shaft. That will probably be a fairly major undertaking when I do it. So for now, any suggestions on how to keep the bushing from turning in the housing?

Anyone have a good source for the oil cups?

That oil cup is what keeps it from rotating. I found new oil
cups at some antique vehicle restoration company and I don't
remember their name. They were around $5.00 each and this was
10 plus years ago. And yes they just drive in.

Model T's use the drive in oil cups on several things.
Look in the Smith and Jones catalogue online.
That is where I bought the ones for my 17 Model T.
