    VMC 4020 way lube line

    After sitting for about ten years I've decided its time to get my 904-1 running. I took the way covers off and one of the way lube lines has come disconnected and I'm not sure where it's supposed to go. It's plastic and looks like it was replaced at some point. It is the closest to the rear of the machine on the end of the saddle manifold and runs under the table on the side closest the operator. It looks like it would reach about halfway under the table. Does anyone have a shematic or an idea of where its supposed to go?

    As long as I'm in this far is there anything else I should be looking at? When I get the way lube system working again I figured I would adjust the gibs and straps.

    Mike

    I'd take those restricters out and replace them or ultrasonic clean them!

    yep, test every one of the waylube injectors.
    Clean the strainer screen on the Dowfrost pump and check pressure and flow of dowfrost. probably should change dowfrost.
