Ed- another member here, Steve Gropp, has a factory clutch type #7 and runs his clutch dry. Both you and Hollis know alot more than me about these hammers (as im just starting to learn about the Beaudry's), but if there is no external means to get lubrication into the clutch assembly thats a huge clue to how it should be run (dry). I cant see a company like Beaudry not allowing for proper maintanance (lubrication of clutch) in there initial design of the clutch (if they meant it to run wet, seems they would have an easy way to apply oil).

I will ask the current owner of the #7 im buying if he knows, or if its in the literature he has on the hammer.
