Thanks,
Good idea about the magnets in the gear "grease". Old rigs lack the modern machine engineering that allows for reduced viscosity gear "oil". That may well be a very important distinction... that of oil and grease. I can imagine the importance of keeping a highly viscous curtain of grease flowing over everything in that large gear case. My manual suggests approximate capacity at 12 gal. I collected about 10 gal. If I get some of the fillings out, I will likely loose another gal or so. I don't think 2 or 3 gal. of new oil would dilute it too much. I might even find some 150 wt gear grease and not dilute it at all.
Thanks for your thoughts, and I will contact Rice and see what they have to say about a belt.
