this thing isn't shown in the owners manual, - however, there is something resembling one on the left hand side on the body - it's a small fitting with a ball in it-assuming that's it how does one get oil into it- it's too small for an ordinary oil can nozzle and you can't shove the ball back with a nozzle( at least i assume you shove the ball back to get the oil in) about the only thing i can think of is a syringe and needle- anybody else got a suggestion?

According to Lee, those are automotice grease fittings. Use a standard grease gun to lube that fitting, as well as the ones on the ends of the handle linkage pins.

t-star...the fitting that you're referring to is an oiler, not a grease fitting. I use one of these which work just great:- www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=1200&title=NEEDLE+OILER+BOTTLES[/url]
I'm sure that there's a local store that would stock them.

thanks six star- i might be able to get something like that at the flyfishing end of it or one of the hobby stores- right now i'm using a hypo with a needle, which, while it works, kind of scares me and i wish it delivered a little more flow it doesn't match the ball diameter, if you know what i mean- probably a PRECISION OILER would work-i know the difference between a grease nipple and an oil fitting- that's why i asked
just to prove i know what i'm talking about, there are 3 grease nipples- 2 on the lever,1 where the yoke pin goes,1 on each end of the connecting link, left-that's where you apply the grease gun- what i'm referring to is the OIL PORT, which is on the left side back of the ram, just below where the chain attches to the carrier- anywya, thanks to six star, i got what i need- btw, there's no point in e-mailing lee on this, as the person on the other end of the e-mail is clueless- gave me instructions on lubing the priming arm- not even close
