Industrial chain lube
in [ATVs]

From: JayC on 22 Apr 2010 11:47 I scored a little of this stuff - Chesterton 601 Chain Drive Pin Bushing Lubricant (says "Industrial use only" on the can). http://www.chesterton.com/ENU/Products/Pages/Product.aspx?ProductLine=TPD&Category=Greases+and+Lubricants&ModelID=601 A friend of mine works as a pressman for one of the big newspapers in the area - this is the stuff they use to lube up the chain-drives on those enormous press machines. It was pretty impressive - I had already scrubbed my snowblower drive chain clean, and had washed it out several times with PB blaster and WD40 until it was clean inside and out, or so I thought. I could still feel a little grit when I spun the rollers, but figured that would work its way out soon enough once I got the chain running and re- lubed. After hosing it down with this 601 stuff, I hung the chain up and put a pan under it to catch the lube drippings. As the residue dribbled down, the color of the drips slowly changed from a clear to completely black. It seems to have dissolved and displaced all kinds of hidden ick that must've been trapped inside the rollers. It looks like really-really good stuff. I figure a couple of more shots once I get the chain running will have the thing like new. Unfortunately, the can I got only had a little bit in it - just enough for a couple of squirt-downs - I'm saving the last dribble for a last squirt once the chain is mounted. What with the industrial use caveat, my understanding that that the stuff is basically unobtainium - it that's true, I need to find a reliable grey/black market source. JayC
