R Walling Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Would anyone want a 1/2 barrel of nice new 600 weight oil? FREE! I received in in a truck body with some other oils a while ago. I have no use for it and I don't even know what to use it for. It is located in the Springfield Ma. area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Good offer for someone close by, is it 600W cylinder oil, or actual 600 Weight. The 600W (W did not stand for weight) was recommended for transmissions, steering boxes and differentials in 1931 Chevs, Fords and perhaps some other cars. It's heavy viscosity helped prevent leaks past bushings etc. When you say "barrel" do you mean 45 gallon drum, or 5 gallon pail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Harper Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) I believe you are referring to steam cylinder oil. That's a valued commodity at the museum I volunteer at. We use in in the lubricator of our 1907 steam powered Lombard log hauler, in the compensator gear housing and the transmissions and differentials of the two gas log powered Lombards. Make a trip to the Maine Forest & Logging Museum in Bradley, Maine on July 30th (we will have everything up and running that day) and bring it along!

Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Nice offer by Roger and Dandy Dave's shop would be a good home for it. Model As love this stuff, trans, diff, steering box. I am sure other cars do also... Edited July 15, 2022 by Steve_Mack_CT (see edit history) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our previous '27 Chevy used this in the tranny and differential. I once bought a 5 gallon bucket from our local Mobil Oil depot, back in the late 1970s or early 1980s - put a bit aside, and put the rest in 1 quart bottles to give to other local folks with early cars. Edited July 17, 2022 by Marty Roth note correction - 5 gallons - not 6 (see edit history) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
