Re: gear box on a Dayton
开云体育Possibly it's not the original motor?I replaced the motor with one made in USA on my Grizzly 5x6, and had to modify the mount a bit to get the pulleys aligned. I don't know why a Dayton would use any gearbox oil different that all the other 4x6 & 5x6 band saws out there. They seem to be a bunch of clones. I use Redline 75w/140NS transmission oil. It's GL5, but it's compatible with yellow metals, and has been in my saw for 19 years. The brand is not important, it just happened Redline was available at the local auto parts store, but being compatible with bronze or brass is, (I assume a Dayton has broze gears like the others) so what ever gear oil you get make sure it's good with yellow metals. Verify that. As far as viscosity, I think the multi-grades are the way to go, like the 75w/140 or a 85w/140. Other Bill On 3/24/2025 9:55 AM, Jack Dinan wrote:
