I have a 1952 8N with a side mount distributor. It has a little oil pipe with a hinged cover. How often should it be oiled and how much? Can't find any info anywhere.

ou sure didn't look very hard! Owner's manual tells you that!
 
Really? Somebody asks a perfectly valid question and your answer is "RTFM?" I don't have a manual. Thanks a lot.

Maybe some nice, respectful person out there answer my question and future people can search and find it to solve their problem. The internet is helpful that way.

I would guess about 3 drops every 6 months would do the job... I would NOT over oil it. Most of then get NO oil.

Maybe someone else willl chime in.

/quote]Owner's Manual, "a few drops of SAE20 or 30, every 10 operating hours". You should really get one & read it. Much needed information there.
 
My 600 has the oiler too. I don't have a manual either,
but try to put 3 or 4 drops in at each oil change. I
seem to forget to do it sometimes, and over the years
I've had no problems.
