We got this good used lathe, but not sure where to put the oil in for the head stock. Anyone have a suggestion? I tried taking the top off the head stock, but doesn't want to budge. Thanks for any help.

On my NamSun 15x30, the headstock lube is supplied by a oil pump from a reservoir in the bottom portion of the head stock. The fill isn't hard to find (there's a elbow sticking out of the lower portion of the headstock w/ a cap labeled oil :-)), and there's a separate oil sightglass for that. That oil is pumped into the headstock whenever the motor is running.
hope this helps -
