You have some nice vintage machines there! The Health-Mor, Packard, and Royals all have the same oil ports. There are 2 on each, front and rear, the front being just behind the fan case and the rear being just above and in front of the rear wheels. Both of these ports can be clearly seen in a couple of your pics, but only the rear one is visible in the other two. About 6 drops in each once a year is usually enough. 3 in 1 ELECTRIC MOTOR oil (NOT regular 3 in 1 oil) is best.
