Can anyone tell me if there is more than one place to oil the motor on an 83 Craftsman bandsaw. I can only see one easily and it is opposite the side with the drive belt. Thanks!

Should be a little yellow plug where oil is applied. Could, but not likely, have a ball bearing on drive end. If the end bells have ever been removed, oil hole could be on the bottom.

Thanks! I had found the yellow plug and put a little oil in it. Thought it may need a little after almost 40 years. I didn't want to take the cover off the drive in if there wasn't a real need to. Nothing has ever been removed. Thanks!
