Felt Diesel wiper for Norwood HD36v2

[cmcguigan]

Has anyone had luck fabricating a felt wiper on a Norwood HD36v2?  Im looking for ideas.

Thanks,
Chris

What are you using for lube? 
Duh!!! Missed the title somehow.
I just use a slow drip every few seconds.

I just use thick felt furniture moving pads. Just cut them to size, and they're cheep.

You can use the search engine at the very top of the page and find some of the older threads.  I remember one of them having pictures of how it was done.

Here is how I did it on a Woodmizer:
I bought the complete $150 kit from Cooks - the sightglass dripper alone is $70.
I just had to do some fabrication to mount it.

I'm about to fab one also and I have on hand thick felt insoles that is use for army mutluck boot. I think they are half inch thick. Army surplus have those or search on the net

How did you make that?  Its hard to tell from the pic what is going on.

I didn't make it, someone else on the forum did though I forget who.  I probably got it off of the sawmill mods thread which is 76 pages long now.

The person took a Uclip, expanded it a bit and then welded a block on it that allowed a hydraulic fitting to be screwed in.  Then a hydraulic elbow is added.  A tube is brazed to the end of that and to the end of a brass elbow(cropped in the image) that leads to the diesel tank.  The lube pads are made of felt. I don't  know how it is mated to the blade guide.
