Need Some Motor Help...

I managed to salvage this:

It's a 3/4hp electric motor. It runs nice and quiet and has a brake once it slows down some. I'm going to use it to build a belt grinder. I had to rewire it for a new cord, but it works!! Damn I'm good.

Anyway, my question is this, it says to oil it, but not where to oil it? It's been sitting outside for who knows how long so it definitely needs it. It's pretty grimy too. Should I take it apart and clean it up? Just run it as is with some oil? What kind of oil/grease would be best? Here are some more pictures to give you a better idea:

Look right behind the pulley. Should be a hole.

If it says lubricate, it should also say what kind.

Found the cups/nozzle. I forgot that the entire motor and housing was upside down in the bracket.
