Ive got an odd one.
its 1950s and a generator hub. no model number on it though!
it has an oil port but when i cracked it open was running on a very weighty grease (which was knackered and drying out), assumed these all ran on oil so put half a pint of sa30 (lawnmower oil) in there which promptly ran out all over the floor from both sides.
guess it was a grease hub after all? but running grease in there the frehub us rubbish and shifting either way is very slow and clumsy.
anyone any ideas?
