Fuzzyguy Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I have a small hand crank blower with a repaired 91-20 gear and need to know what oil? to use in the gear case. Any thoughts are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I use either 80wt gear oil or chainsaw bar oil with a little STP in it. Only enough oil for the lower gear teeth to run in it to splash the oil to other gears & bushings. Too much oil will only leak out. What make blower?

Charles R. Stevens Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Some don’t hold oil at all, those that have Oiler cups at the top don’t hold oil, and a few drops of bar oil, 90wt or 30wt non detergent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Because mine leaks it out as it is used I just pour some of my old motor oil into the case before using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I use the oilers they make for swampcooler's, nice spout, clean machine oil, just a squirt in through the top oil hole as needed. As mentioned some are flow through oil systems and would profit from the al roasting pan of kitty litter under them. Having a dirt floor in my shop---not a problem!
