I've had some success dissembling, and relubing electric

money, just a cold home. The draft inducer fan locked up,
and it's rough to be in NYS with no heat this time of year.

Oiling a motor isn't going fix a worn bearing you stupid ****ing top
posting idiot.

Actually there is a lot to be said about Stormin Mormon's proceedure.
Some day you may have to do things like that when you work for
those places who don't have the necessary funding to "support you
in the manner you wish to be supported". You don't replace, you fix.

Um... no. The OP wasn't complaining of a motor that wouldn't turn
over. It turned over just fine except it was noisy due to bad
bearings. No amount of oil is going to fix that. Stormy is a idiot
who preys off dumb asses. Are you a dumb ass?

Well, it's tough to think straight, what with having to service half a dozen
or so wives, made evermore stressful with no contraception.....
Mebbe Stormin should be providing the brain food for all the assholes in
this effingly useless ng (ah, not ahr).....

Even if oil *were* called for (say, oil cups for the bronze bearings on
older motors), WD-40 (suggested by Dr. Stoned) is near-useless.

In fact, WD-40 is a near-useless product altogether, qualifying as a
"lubricant" for mebbe hinges.
It's only redeeming value for general use, iiuc, is that it has some solids
in suspension, which can act as a dry lubricant once the crap has
volatilized off -- think LockEase. Altho, I haven't really been able to
detect any of that dry lubricant.

The REAL utility of WD-40 is as..... no, not for beating one's meat, as per
the likes of Mike Hunt and his ripoff ilk, during their interminable dry
spells..... but as a tapping fluid for aluminum.
Except for a few "exotics", like perhaps MolyD et al, WD-40 is regarded by a
fair fraction of machinists as one of the best aluminum tapping fluids --
and proly ok for steel.

This is due to the fact that WD is kerosene-based, and kerosene itself is
quite good for tapping alum. But WD has much less of the kerosene odor, an
additional plus.

Plus, WD is nearly ubiquitous in the marketplace, a fixture in all bigbox
stores, which in my mind is what is really spectacular about WD-40, and is
what makes Merka so great:

WD-40, once again, demonstrates how a product *utterly inferior to
virtually all others in its class, ie to virtually all other lubricants,
penetrants, and rust inhibitors* -- Kroil and PB Blaster just to name two
markedly superior products -- utterly *dominates* the marketplace.
Really fukn amazing.

There seems to be a true mathematical relation, butt another Law of the
Proctologically Violated©® :
That a product's advertising budget is inversely proportional to its
quality/utility/validity.
Virtually across the board.

Also, with very few exceptions, if a product is infomercialed, it is almost
always **** -- by definition. One exception, pointed out recently in ahr,
was that super-ladder ditty, with some nifty locking mechanism. $400, iirc.
Of course, the fact remains that even here, two $40 step ladders, with a
cupla 2x6s, and a 12-16' extension ladder (all for under $200), have much
more versatility and utility, with less mechanical drama, AND the ability to
service more users at once.
Ergo, MUCH more bang fer one's buck than this super-ladder ditty. Heh, see
the below Bang fer yer Buck law.

Another law of the PV'd:
If Billy Mays, or any Bri'ish bloke, or Tony Little is doing
the hawking, the product is *guarownteed* to be ****.
This law is absolute, with no exceptions whatsoever.

Another absolute PV law, the Law of Bang fer yer Buck :

An infomercialed or heavily advertised product, even if not ****, has a bang
fer yer buck at least an order of magnitude less than its legitimate
competition. Which means it has less quality/utility, or a greater price,
or both.

--
EA, always PV'd, but not by Billy fuknMays -- esp. since, well, now he's
DEAD.
But, ackshooly, you can STILL get PV'd by Billy, since a bunch of his
pre-demise tapings are being aired as we speak -- like the Dual Saw, for
wives lookin to buy sumpn for hubby.

Thompson's Water Seal comes immediately to mind.

PB Blaster is under advertised, and aparently good stuff. It
has the advantage of spraying in a stream. So, if you're
under the work van and want to spray the entire brake cable,
it's easy enough to do with the long reach stream. WD-40
comes out in a fog.

yeah, PB is good stuff. IMHO it's inferior to Kroil, but on the upside,
they do have it at that Orange Colored Store (although you have to look
pretty hard for it, as opposed to WD-40) and it's really not all that
bad - way better than WD-40 anyway.

Hands down the best penetrating oil I've ever used was Wuerth Rost Off,
but I dunno where you can buy it.

"WD-40 comes out in a fog."

Not with new "Smart Straw"...

Of course, I still buy the half-gallon cans and refill these, which
can be adjusted for the type of spray you want...

And I drive *both* of these...

From any Wuerth industrial distributor - and it IS pretty good stuff.

The original formulation was great - it actually worked. The new
formulation (last 10 years or so??) is more useless than bear whiz.

Utterly useless for freeing rusted hardware.
