The Parkson has many pinned connections. Cleaning all those small tapered holes and getting them to have a good finish and fit with the pin - PERFECT

Cant go wrong with this stuff. Clean rigorously after for any sliding ways then oil.

Love this product. It was used on the cam to lock the main anvil. Makes it slide nicely where it counts and otherwise lock on a separate surface. Your operator will appreciate it.

A bottle of patience. Take your time on old equipment, soak the bolts and connections in WD-40. Leave it for a few days. Clean the threads and screw slots BEFORE your first attempt so your screwdriver has a chance. Soak and wait some more. Your hardware will be reuseable, your effort will decrease and - in the end - your project will be that much more enjoyable.

The history of gears is surprisingly interesting - the process of milling and hobbing gears plus the transmission of torque and movement all find a place here. We will open the "Secret Gear Case" to YT as well through this channel - a personal mission
