455 oil derrick...
Posted by silentman on Friday, November 18, 2011 8:31 PM

Is there a "maintenace" manual or something for a postwar 455 oil derrick? I just picked one up and not exactly sure what I need to clean, oil ect. I dont want to rip this apart without some good advice on where to start. The pump does work but compared to my newer oil derrick it probably needs a good cleaning and lubing. Thanks for anything.

It's pretty much maintenance free, about the only thing you need is the bubble tube sitting directly on the HOT light bulb.
