Singer 78-3 shuttle driver shaft lube

Recommended Posts

Well I figured my 78-3 is a little out of time, but I never could get the shuttle driver to budge so I decided to remove it and lube it a bit. The screws that hold it to the rocker shaft were already missing So it should have been simple to remove, but after a little heavy persuasion, the shuttle driver came apart. Seemed liked it was glued together, the replacement looks like Just a solid piece so that should prevent that from happening again, anyways my question would be what kind of singer friendly lubricant could I put on the shaft/shuttle driver so could still adjust to time it and is the original simanco shuttle driver salvagable?

This happens from not being moved for a long time.Oil oil dries up & can make things like this stick together.I doubt if you'll have problems adjusting it again,I would oil the shaft either it will just make it slip out of time easier.
