Stopped in at the local jobber & asked what they had in medium way oil ISO 68 or so. Office lady asked if I wanted Brad Penn? It brought to mind passing the refinery in Bradford; I always wondered what they made. She read the data sheet. Nothing sounded "special" besides the usual ad copy gobbledegook but it did say tacky/stringy. Could not see any reason not to try it for the planer. She said they had Shell Tonna, too.
Never heard of way oil so cheap, $40.08 for 5gal Brad Penn 68 vs more than twice that for Shell Tonna.
Needless to say, a pail of Brad Penn came home for use in the planer wells. Has to be as good as anything that was used when the machine was built in the 1920's.
Having never heard of it before, I was wondering if anyone else uses it or has comments good, bad, or otherwise?
