While restoring my Jube seat frame, I had it lying on its side for the first time and opened the air valve. To my surprise, about an ounce of milk chocolate-colored oil shot out.
It was an odd smelling oil, not like gear lube though.
So I figure that the cylinder is designed to have a little oil in it before the final pump up of air. The valve looks deliberately easy to remove.
So does anyone know if they require internal oil and if so what kind and how much?
After putting the frame back on the tractor, it took a refill of air OK and feels fine.
Thanks,
