I’m replacing the oils in my 1960’s “round styled” Maho MH600.
The main gear oils are no problem but the variable speed drive runs in an oil bath, probably like a Kopp variator. Therefore the oil is very specific being Shell Morina S2 BL5, an ISO 5 oil. As you’d expect it’s expensive (a gearbox of full of malt whisky would be cheaper!)
Can anybody tell me the H Drive oil capacity for this machine? I don’t want to buy too much, and don’t want to have too little. And before anyone asks, there was far too much spillage to use what came out as an indicator!
thanks
Charles
