McDougall water pump

Post by jerryd »

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
jerry

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