waterwitch

[jbyield]

I have a waterwitch 1939 2.5 hp 1 cyl ready to run almost wondering the type of oil u should mix I think mix is 5/8 pint to gallon? Looking for any manuals,diagrams out there
thanks

It is 3/4 pint per gallon with 30wt oil. You could probably get by on 16/1 with tcw3 oil. I wouldn’t go any lower than that.

So I want to get this straight a 30wt 2 stroke oil its so old that I don’t what to mess it up about 10 to 1 to 16 to 1 and tcw3 means? two cycle oil thanks for your reply hope to start it Saturday

TWC3. Two-cycle, Water cooled oil. 16:1 is what I use in mine.

thanks for straightening that out. I wondered if they used something different back then. Anybody know a good grease for the gear box and it is grease not oil? Your waterwitch tanks and better than mine. My 84year mom got me mine from the dump. Cant believe people throw them out.

I use grease in mine. I ft it from Tractor Supply. Some people use John Deere cornhead grease or Lubriplate 105.
