Weekend hauls and question

[1930artdeco]

Went o. Vacation to Ashland and picked these up. I am guessing a 60’s Thor 6 in grinder and a 1947 worm drive saw. Both are in pretty good shape but I think the saw is going need new bearings or at least a really good greasing. What type of grease goes in the work drive as I assume mine is pretty hard after 60 years.

Here are some better pics. Any suggestions on lube for the saw?

That saw is a monster! Looking for the oil/grease suggestion as well....

Never had a Thor...but Skil sells it's own brand worm-drive saw grease. Available at most Home Depots.

I hated worm drives, they're left handed, you know. I think some might have had oil, instead of grease. If that's the case, I would use syn 75/140. If it's grease, use CV lube, it a moly grease, good stuff and available. In the last 70 years, we've advanced in lubes.

I didn't know that!
