[TheForge] Buffalo brand forge blower

[Larry House]

I am rebuilding a small Buffalo forge blower.  This is one of the small 
stamped metal housing units.  It is in good condition and coming 
together nicely.  The question I have is that the seam around the gear 
box, was it originally filled with some form of sealer or caulk?  When I 
opened this one up, it was full of grease, no surprise there, but it has 
one if the spring and ball oil ports on the housing which leads me to 
believe they intended gear oil in stead of grease in side.  This brings 
us back to the first question as oil would leak out of the seam where 
the gearbox covers over lap with or with out sealant.  (too many years 
trying to get old HD primary not to leak not to know this) Does anyone 
know what was used for lubrication in the small blowers?  Thanks for 
your help.
