what type oil is used in the gear box

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
May 17, 2025

For 3 to 7½ ton trolleys of the CM Lodestar XL, the gearbox uses Mobil SHC-626 or an equivalent oil. For 2 ton trolleys, refill with one gallon (3.86 liters) of gear oil, such as Texaco Novatex No. 1 or Amoco 85W-140, or an equivalent medium cup grease.
