[TowerTalk] Prelube 6

[Wayne Kline]

Bob,

Also the winches were not covered. Left in the open, I would do my yearly maintenance  and use  rifle bore  rage sprayed with the S00201 on the 3 ft. of open cable from the winch drum to the dropped  forged clevis…  and  no problem.  I bought mine from Granger

Wayne,

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sprayon lube.  Thats a pretty good testimony for a cable lube after 30 years !

I looked it up and I may give it a try myself.  Nothing against Pre-Lube but sometimes its good to try alternate products.

I haven't put on my asbestos suit, I hope I don't get flamed now, hihi

Here's what I found on the Sprayon S00201:

I cut the winch cable at a number of places  to check  it’s condition  at no layer of the 3/16 cable showed ANY degradation  ( this tower was lowered a few  20 times in it’s 30 year instlation ) and the cable  wicked a sound as it unwound  not from moisture ( there was none) but the tacky substance of the lube..
