Very helpful! I bought a Locke Triplex and am restoring it. Got it running nicely. May have to do a little adjusting on the transmission. But my next job is to back lap so this is a huge help. What is the compound you’re using? Did you mix it up yourself? I bought some 80 and 120 grit commercial. I really like your electric motor setup!! Mine has the hand crank so it’ll be a fun project.
1. The tractor clutch on these machines is a multiple disc type with a planetary reverse gear completely enclosed and running in an oil bath. LUBRICATION 2. The oil level should be checked at regular intervals by removing the oil level pipe plug # 1723 at the front side of the transmission case. The oil should be drained after the first 10 hours operation (drain plug is located at the hottom of the transmission), and refilled to overflow at the oil level plug #1723 with Type A transmission oil. Additional changes of oil should be made after each 100 hours of operation. 3. The transmission requires only 12 ounces of oil and is equipped with a breather #1372-1 located on the cover plate #1528-1. 4. IMPORTANT - If the transmission is always run with clean oil, it will outlast the rest of the machine. I hope this help’s and thanks for watching 👍🏻
