No problems with it but was thinking a little wd40 - has anyone lubed it? How is best? I was thinking cranking it opened and shooting wd40 thru opened windshield into gears....
 
You might consider overhead garage door lube in a spray can. Lubricates but doesn't attract dirt. Same company that makes PB Blaster makes the stuff I use. JMO
 
WD-40 is not really a good lubricate for what you are wanting. I would use something else in that location. WD stands for Water Displacement, it's primary function.
 
I found mine was I immoveable because the cast sector gear was slightly bent, I had to disassemble and clearance the first 3 gear teeth. If you just need lube the picture shows it will need to be fairly thin to penetrate the areas of contact. Is from 39 up by the way.

There is a guy in Ohio who recasts those gears. If I understand correctly, the later 39 model has stamped sheet gears.
