Not necessarily from the same person, but in the spirit of what goes around comes around, when I help you out I am repaying some of the debt that I've incurred when others have helped me out. (I think I've been helped out by members from just about every state or territory in the country). Similarly if you felt that this places you under some obligation, you can discharge that by helping out others as you are able. (See Pay it forward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
    One day it will all even out and in the mean time the world is a friendlier place.

    That's what I love about this forum, very friendly and prepared to help out some one in trouble. Thank you everyone.

    Default Drill gear lube.

    I have a No.3MT Bergmanborr pillar drill, very similar to earlier Arboga types. Does not have any provision for gear lubrication. As it has been in
    occasional use for 20 years or so, and was a little noisy, I decided to split the gear/motor casing and check it over. Seems the gears (all steel) were
    only packed with a small amount of grease originally. Scraped out the old stuff as best I could and put a few blobs of new stuff in, also a bit of tacky chain lube on gear teeth. Quite a juggling act to get all gears and selectors back together correctly meshed, but it now runs considerably quieter and is presumably good for the next 20 years or so. Seems an all steel gear set can last OK and run acceptably quiet with some occasional lube. Regards, Combustor.
