Members BrandonJones Posted September 1, 2020 Members Report Posted September 1, 2020 I just aquired a Landis 16 machine. A friend of mine uses one and he runs WD-40 in the two housings on the transmission/clutch/pulley driveshaft that is on the back of the machine, I don't know what else to call the large shaft. Are there seals on that shaft? When I fill up those housings with wd-40 it ends up slinging the oil out of the housings. Or is it supposed to have a thicker consistency oil in them? Any help would be appreciated. Quote

Members BrandonJones Posted September 1, 2020 Author Members Report Posted September 1, 2020 I have some of that too!! Do you know if there are seals in there or is it going to sling it out in a nice line like the wd-40, lol. Quote
