Paul Carmody Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) While I’m waiting on the paint to dry on the Menominee gear case ,I was messing with this guy. What is the threaded hole for in the back of oscillator?It doesn’t go all the way through. There was a sealer where all the case parts meet. I cleaned most of it off.It looks to be factory ,black hard stuff.Should I use a sealer ,gasket sealer so the grease doesn’t seep?I am not familiar with these later fans. I was surprised to see a dark red composite gear.It looks to be in good condition. Edited January 5 by Paul Carmody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Fengel Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 What is the threaded hole for in the back of oscillator?It doesn’t go all the way through. That hole is for the Screw that secures the rear housing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Ray Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 If you use a high quality grease (I recommend Amsoil), the grease won't break down and seep through the gear box. But if you wish to use a sealer, automotive black RTV sealant is what I would recommend as it's not permanent just in case service needs to be done in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took it off a couple of days ago.🤡I guess I forgot what I was working on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
