Automatic Oiler

Automatic Oiler FARM SHOP Maintenance 21-1-37 Our automatic oiler extends sprocket and chain life on farm equipment up to three times longer. "Lube Minder" comes with a 2-quart oil reservoir that will last an average of about 8 hours. One unit will automatically pump oil to each chain and sprocket on the machine. It's activated by any double-acting hydraulic cylinder on the machine. For example, on a combine you use the cylinder that swings the unloading auger back and forth; on a round baler, the cylinder that opens and closes the tailgate; on a mower-conditioner, the cylinder that raises and lowers the cutting head. You simply plug the Lube Minder into the cylinder and then the oil will be activated each time the cylinder is used. Each oil line runs to a brush located next to a sprocket or chain. The brush removes debris while dispersing oil. Works great on combines, round balers, mower-conditioners, forage harvesters, manure spreaders, and other sprocket-drive equipment.
