Found this on a book for 20" WT DP

Dumb question...So if you're not supposed to use oil for the bearings, why does the unit have that oiler cap assembly on the top of the head?

When you say special bearings, are you implying they are difficult to find or impossible to find?

Have you recieved any word back from the parts website? I emailed them in the 15th and have not heard back from them yet. I'm looking to get my hands on a FA906, S/N 1060 FA. Pump has a stamp of FA 1531. The unit still works but it it'd be nice to give it a once over before putting it into...

I'd use caution as some of those wires could be asbestos insulated.

Yes, amsoil is synthetic. Just to clarify, I'm referring to the main, approx 3/4" steel pin, that the arbor pivots on. Its pressed into the main "body" of the saw assembly and the arbor that holds the saw blade shaft, bearings and teeth rests over that pin and held in place with a bent "c"...

Very nice saws in this thread. Im trying to restore my grandfathers 113.29901 back to working condition. The Arbor pivot pin was pretty much seized. Had to be hammered and gear pulled off. After I clean the pin and mating surfaces, what lubricant should I use to keep the arbor moving freely and...

We just dont want to give up an easement to give them the the right to run a line through the property or shell out the couple hundred dollars for a surveyed specific easement. Stubborn I guess.

i guess its more wondering if anyone has run power post-meter in such a manner. I know RV/Trailer parks do it like that often, but I dont think Ive seen it 200+ft. I guess it a comparison of could vs should?

So we have this 30x40 steel barn. We finally want to run power to it. The nearest power point is a neighboring subdivision that has its underground electrical easement right up against our property line. The barn is 200ft from the nearest transformer. My thinking is; run secondary from the...

Sorry for the delay, needed time to soak, clean,and of course take pics. Soaked in a few separate batches. Scrubbed with nylon, wire brush and steel wool to get grease and rust off. Hosed down with brake cleaner to get the diesel off then oiled and rubbed down with Ballistol to prevent rusting...

Thanks for the input, all. I went ahead and used diesel. Worked like a charm. Like i mentioned prior, ive used diesel to clean plenty of times before but never used it on "pretty" chrome plated tools to soak long periods of time.

What kind of lubricant is in the pouch?

Thanks for y'all input. I hope this stirred up some good conversation. I'll go with my tried and true method of diesel soak. I know this is another horse thats beat but as for oiling to prevent rust; what is y'alls take on ballistol?

This is what ive done in the past with diesel and parts but never soaked tools long term.
