Lopi Leyden Blower Oil Ports

[ifixmy2]

New here and have recently bought 2 different stoves!
Did overhaul on both and found oil ports on bottom of Englander pdv. Motor is a recent replacement by previous owner.
Motor is same as those in pics posted. Label on motor says (assembled in Mexico).

Caution: Have a Grain comfort that previous owner said he oiled weekly. Motor is same as in Englander and the one pictured above.
When I did tear down, I found oil residue inside blower motor and it collected lint.
It was caked bad enough to be a Fire hazard. Over oiling is not a good idea.

....Over oiling is not a good idea.

2-3 drops of 20w non-detergent oil (3 in 1 in the blue can or equivalent) once at end of winter cleaning, and again (maybe) during mid -winter cleaning.....that's it.

Spin the motor so the oil ports are on top, and cover w/ small piece of electrical tape if the yellow plugs are missing.
