Hello all
I am going to tidy up this old McDougall 1406 pump I have have . Made in canada in Galt Ontario It has not been used for 45 years. I have a kit for it. What oil should I use in the gear box? It will be put back in operation. Pretty full of scale. Getting it cleaned up.
Thanks for your help

That is pretty cool Jerry. I'm guessing a light weight oil or transmission fluid.

Well over hauled pumping and looking pretty.to bad no one will be seeing it. It is going in a crawl space under my sons house. Pushing sprinkler 16 ft high
Smooth operating. Lots of brass parts

Jerry , nice job , cool piece of history preserved

Gear drive sealed , no leaks

I think I would have to get my son a new one and keep that nice old relic on display. Nice job!!
