I'm refurbing an early 1900's treadle sewing machine. There are many moving parts - gears, levers, spindles, etc. I don't know when to use oil and when to use grease. Any ideas on which to use on which parts? Thanks.
PS I've already used penetrating oil to "unstick" frozen parts within the machine body. This will be removed. But my question refers to lubrication before putting it back together. Also, copious amounts of oil cannot be used because of the nature of the machine - oil spilling out of the case on to the cloth being sewn.
