Lubricating tracs of a HG-42

[Jack in NB]

Hi Steve -

If the seals are good, they let loose with a good juicy burst of flatulence when they're full.  Usually between 5 and 10 strokes with the Alemite type oil gun.

If the seals are shot, you will see leakage after 3 to 5 strokes. Inside is hard to see, but shows up on the treads.

With the defective seals, I usually oil every two to 3 hours until I get a chance to replace them.

I don't think you could have made it any more discript.

In any account I guess they are never too full. Thanks
