    Hi Frank All I can tell you is that on mine, I had no cover....long since gone. One of the grease adjuster fittings was so rusted, it would not take grease due to the fitting being worn out and rusted out of shape. (I could hold the grease gun on hard and get some grease into it) I unscrewed...

    Hi Frank I don't have all that stuff on my antique one. Why not just use a meter to find out ? Pretty well gotta be 24 V if that's what the available power is. Good luck Pete
