Preserving Bellows

Re: Preserving Bellows

Did that product maybe come out after my book was printed?
Yes it did, what also came out later was a service bulletin that told us that Merc started adding Teflon to 2-4-C and that makes it too slippery to use in roller or needle bearings.
Good Luck Muc

Burning Incense and doing a chant may help.

Is there a service bulletin on chants too????

Re: Preserving Bellows

Just keep the drive down and check them often

I replace mine every 4 years since Arizona is so hard on rubber

if i where to use anything it would be 303 aerospace protectent

wd40 will cause it to collect dirt then when the bellows moves the dirt will act as an abrasive
