Don't be using a 166 for work!!! Put it on the shelf and look at it or make it a hotsaw!!!!!!

If only. It has to earn its living I,m afraid.

I had a oiler go out on one of my 166. It was the gear on the pump of the oiler itself. Watch it 2 different gears. I ruined a brand new oiler once.
Yes they are adjustable, if working.
