I picked up an old mill for a good price (its not in the best shape), but previous owner had been using grease where it should have been oil... Any tips? I was thinking about pumping a penetrating oil or alcohol in there every day for a while to see if I can get it all out...
I had that issue. I made an oil pressure gun (there's a video on that) and simply overpowered th e old grease with oil to flush it. Automotive motor oil is a good flush out as it contains a lot of detergent. Then I go behind with the proper lube. Don
Nice project Don. I 'll be making one of these this week. Thanks for the video!
Just stayin busy friend... ✌
maybe a tiny portable bicycle pump to put pressure in. plus you can use it for your peddle bikes,
Always giving away those neat ideas...😃
Yes, I'll be making one of those.
Pretty kool ! ! !
Thanks 👍
Definitely a nice mod
