A mate owns and operates an Ingersol Rand T4W drill rig and noticed a fair bit of wear in the rotary head gearbox. He is currently using a 680 grade mineral oil
and would like to know if there is a better lubricant he can try. The rig is working in some very harsh conditions in the Northern Territory of Australia where the outside air temperature can be 110 degrees F . Or as the old people used to say in Aust “ it’s 110 in the water bag “ and that’s bloomin hot . Any info would be gladly appreciated. I have used this forum before and can’t get over the amount of knowledge there is out from many contributors. Thanks.
