NON-detergent, light motor oil. I'm sure the real Drake experts can provide much better suggestions. 73, Evan, K9SQG -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, Aug 25, 2010 6:34 pm Subject: [Drakelist] Preselector lube Drake experts, I'm carefully cleaning dried grease & accumulated crud from the spindles and reduction drive of an R-4A preselector that is dragging and consequently slipping. What's the best lubricant to use on the reduction drive itself? NOTE: Based on Garey's advice I did *NOT* remove the shaft & reduction drive because of possible alignment issues, so I would guess that I'd have to either use a heavy oil (sparingly) or some kind of grease squeezed into the bearing housing.
