In Reply to: Help, please. Which Rek-O-Kut motor is this and how do I oil it? posted by Mr Blue Sky on October 28, 2014 at 00:58:22:

Your motor look just like mine. I cleaned it a few years ago and the results were pretty dramatic, at least visually. Its a bit of a chore but not too hard. You have to totally disassemble the motor which may take some elbow grease considering it is probably 60-70 years old. They use a self lubricating core which is fine for the first 50 or 60 years but eventually the lubricant turns to varnish and must be removed with a cleaner.

Look at my post linked below and look at the link I referenced for better instructions on how to do it.

If it doesn't make sense then contact me or write another post here. Its not too big of a deal.
