I have been moving logs with the Case skidsteer, and one day I decided to see what was in the chain drive for lube...
So, I open them up, and gaze at the milkshake. It figures...
drained out the stuff... and went and split wood for awhile, debating on what to put back in there. Then I realized that I still have quite a stash of
Master Mechanic chainsaw bar oil. I split a little more, and decided, why not?
According to Case, 1.3 gallons capacity... Seemed a little low, considering the 4 some gallons of milkshake I drained out.
I poured one in, and could not even see it. Poured a second in, you can now see a little in there. Dare I do a third?
Yep... that gets it to just the bottom of the chains... 3 it is.
I ran it for several hours that way, and then checked it again. somewhat cloudy but a lot better than it was.
Drained it and refilled it again...
I think it will work good. Sticks to metal, about the right weight... the book calls for "motor oil". which would be find too...
