Mineral oil is refined byproduct. Still available today and still widely used.

 

[NoBrakes!]

if it isn't "synthetic" its mineral oil or dino blood

 

[snochuk]

Thanks for info snochuk. Mineral was before present day oils?

Yes that is correct.
And yes I am that old.
lol

So what is the difference between the Mineral oil BRP sold that used to be recommended for break in back in the day and non-synthetic oil?

I have access to a small stump grinder...BIL runs a Stevenson's Rental. Don't think it will work?? Right now I'm diggin' out the stones/dirt the best I can and chain sawing/saws-all chunks out, repeat. On the second chain. Spend more time sharpening than cutting.
The hole I've dug is almost two feet deep in front of the stump. The roots only grew down so far [bedrock perhaps?], then started growing up/out of the ground years later. This Elm tree has lifted my garage pad 4 inches in one corner and the fence about 6 inches. Trying to reclaim this area for the Ol' doll. I'll back fill with a-gravel when done.

Dynamite would be excellent for entertainment! Maybe, if I didn't have neighbours or other sh!t in the way I'm tryin' to salvage.

You can also buy carbide tipped chains for your saw. They stand up a lot better but I’ve never tried sharpening one.

Mineral oil was non synthetic Doug. The semi synthetic oil was a blend of syn and mineral.

Yes I’ve used a stump grinder on an oak stump and it worked. It’s hard work till you get the hang of it. Don’t try to take too big of bites.
Google a couple of stump grinding videos.

Thanks, I've seen big 100hp ones in action, not the smaller one. I'd have to throw a sheet a ply over the hole for the wheels to sit on. Any idea how deep you can go?

See Tannerite thread. Lol

lol, I did look at that thread. Just a little more aggressive than I have room for.

How to end the gene pool of a genius, or loose a limb....could be fun though.

@beerslayer

Thanks, I'll look into those.

This isn't going to be a 5 min job as you know, lol. No matter what I do we're burning up a few hours on this one.

The one I used was good for 16” below grade if I remember correctly.

When i first saw it i thought it was what they used when they were in enviormentally sensitive areas in case of spills.Lol

I'll contact the BIL and see what he has. I'd like to get down about 24" if I can...

Did the same thing! It’s all about flow vs heat input! Lol
I was making steam for awhile, I have mine somewhat dialled in, I’m making 115f water... I just have to increase flow as the crappy tire pool holds 10000 lites so converting 78f water to 90f takes a lot!
