The one in this link is listed as a grease gun but the oil versions look the same.
You can probably pick an old one up at your local flea market or swap meet or buy a new one from Pirtek or similar.
Most of them will do the job as far a getting oil where it's needed on your machine but in general they leak like sieves when not in use hence my reference to a good supply of rags.
I finally bit the bullet and bought an Abnox Wanner version from a place in the US which from memory cost me around $130 delivered. This sounds a bit pricey I know but it hasn't leaked a drop since I've had it and given a crap one from Pirtek cost around $60 and was in the bin within a year I reckon it was worth the extra coin. I also modified a cheap little grease gun to pump oil which worked ok but I couldn't access some of the oilers on my mill but you may not have this problem so might be worth a try.

To remove the grease, flushing with oil will do the job in some places but you will probably have to do some disassembly for other places and wipe or scrape the grease out. This is tedious work but always remember, there's not many things more pleasant than some nice oily nipples.

Hi Greg,

I have a couple of Wanners I use on the 13. They pump oil but they leak, one close to hemorrhaging. When you refill yours next can you give me some idea of what the seal under the cap looks like and how well it fits?

Bob.

No worries Bob, it's due for a refill so I'll take a few shots over the weekend.
Cheers,
Greg.

People , I finally removed the 3 jaw from the head stock. I will take some pictures and share later. Damien.

The bloody thing looks brand new. It is keeping me busy though. Damien.

Looks like the larger spindle bore model , your lucky .

Is your lathe the 3/4" model? Mine does have the larger bore diameter. Damien
