I believe they were a downgrade. At least grease cups contained grease, just go up there and screw them down a turn. Not so with zerks. Drag a grease gun up there every time, and hope they all take grease.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

Dunno. I don't recall ever being close enough to another Imperial to notice. Seems like close quarters for a lot of grease cups.

Thanks Windy. Let me see what info I can find that shows the original configuration. I may wind up needing quite a few cups!

Looks like I'm missing a few pullout components. I need to find detailed documentation or visuals of a compete mill.

I don't have anything on that mill. Do you have the 'green book' ? It can tell you where to find info...

I'm with you Paul about it being a tight fit for grease cups. I don't know whats worse taking grease up and having to fill cups or a grease gun and filling zerks. I bought me a fitting for my grease gun that clamps onto the zerks. I put it on the zerks and start pumping. It is WONDERFUL. It is well worth the money. I also have a clamp pump gun I can work with one hand.
