Removing / replacing the oil cups on a 10K gearbox?

Rogan Creswick
I finally got around to this, and using an appropriately-sized wood screw worked great! I didn't want to make up a slide hammer, but I happen to have a nail-puller plier that worked quite well (A slide hammer is one of the first lathe projects, once I get this back together, though!). Thanks again for the help. On Mon, Mar 28, 2022 at 9:37 AM Payson <egreene104@...> wrote: Do you tap on the head of the screw to drive out the sleeve?

Thank you all for the suggestions! The drywall screw with a slide-hammer looks like a great place to start. Knowing how things go over here, I'll be able to try it out in about a week :D. John |

I sure like the way you think. Nelson Collar On Saturday, March 26, 2022, 07:34:49 PM EDT, John Dammeyer <johnd@...> wrote:

Hi There, The oilers on the top of the Quick Change Gear Box (QCGB) are press fit into the casting. There are 3 types of Gits oilers that could be used. The one of the far left is generally the ones found on later gear boxes. As one cans see, there is a bead around the middle to limit how far the oiler can be driven in. Gits Part No: 00502. The middle one has the body flared out to form the cup part of the oiler and it forms a shoulder of sorts to limit insertion. Gits Part No: 00330 The one on the far right is machined and has a distinct square shoulder. Gits Part No: 00302 I use a drywall screw brazed to the end of a bolt. I then use a hollow steel sleeve to slide up the bolt to impact against the underside of the bolt head to pull the oiler out (like a dent puller). Good Luck! -Blue Chips- Webb |

I just removed a broken gits oil fitting from a South Bend shaper I just purchased. I used a 1/8” punch on the side of the oiler and angled it up so that it tended to drive the fitting out from the hole. Once I could see the oiler was shifting out, I was able to grab it with some pliers and remove it the rest of the way.

Screw extractor with grease on it to capture chips? Far as I know, they are push-ins, except for the tumbler gear one.

You could try this:
Turn a piece of bar to be a snug fit inside the cups, then use a self grip wrench on the outside to really grip them hard without crushing.

I'm rebuilding a 10k (UMD) and I'm having trouble with the oil cups on the gearbox. I assumed that they either unscrewed or pulled out, like the other cups I've encountered so far, but the covers broke off when I tried those things, and now I'm left with the broken shafts, and I don't know how to remove them. They do not *seem* to unscrew, and the edge where they enter the casting looks.... odd. Almost like they were somehow riveted in (?). Does anyone have suggestions? I'm assuming worst-case, I can cut them flush with the casting, and press in smaller fill cups, but I'm not sure how likely it is that I can get the appropriate size. I could drill them out, but I'm not sure I'd be able to get all the chips out. Thanks! Rogan
