I am guessing that the rockwells were probably turds even when new. I have never seen one that wasn't caked with grease that had leaked out, and when the oil gets low the input bearings go boom. I know they are all 40 years old or older, but having the input so much higher above the fill line of the case is a bad idea regardless of age.
