Re: Tie rod bolts not all the same
From the MTFCA Encyclopedia
09-06-16 “Brought drawing up to date with oilers as they are being made by changing the design from 4N Bowen. The new type was the Winkley.
09-30-16 T2944 spring oilers. These were used on the springs, replacing the hanger oilers. They were Winkley 1-G “Special Winkley Oiler.” They appear to have a spring-loaded ball as a “door.” Push the ball down to add the oil and then the ball seals the hole. They were zinc plated.
11-29-16 Changed from the above Winkley to the man-hole style, also made by Winkley, and were initially raven finished but later Zinc coated. This oiler was also used on the commutator.
12-13-16 Changed to Winkley oiler #3, Style R.
02-08-17 This same oiler now used on the spindle bolts.
No idea on the bolt head difference
