One of my older friends told a story of one of his buddies of long ago that was fellow member of the military and had an old Model A that he would drive several hundred miles to see family when he as on leave. He would start patrolling the barracks a few days before to see if anyone had worn out combat boots he could cut the tongue out of to patch a main bearing malady. He'd pull the pan on the night before leave and pack the main then put the pan back on & refill with oil. My friend mentioned that he would come back with a bit of a knock and not much oil left but he was never AWOL.
