macbruce Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 No,....If you have grease zerks on the main bearings pump grease until it forces out any water, otherwise no worries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 If you can put a plug in the cup on top of the main bearings if you don't zerk fittings. My old 25# had wooden clutch block and they may swell a bit. If you have compressed air just blow it off after power washing to get the excess water off. I guess you are either getting ready to rebuild it or repaint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYBOY Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Honestly Im not sure about grease zerks. The hammer is a 25# transitional..I havent actually seen it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
