[SEL] More Rusty Iron

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Tom,  
    Actually it contained oil instead of grease.  The oil would sling 
around inside and there was the adjustment on top to set how much was 
allowed down into the rod to oil the bearing.  I've never seen one on an 
International like it before.  The rod oilers were sometimes a bit 
messy.  Grease would "ooze" out around the bearing and would sling off 
in a glob and would pretty much stay where it landed.  With the oiler, 
the excess would sling off in drops and would end up running on down the 
rear, sides and anywhere else on the engine.  The rod oilers are a neat 
feature though.
