Is there somewhere I can send my acre counter to be repaired,

Don't fix it they are not expensive and no one fixes them. Jim
many to choose from example

That looks very much like a Veeder Root counter . They are still made and available worldwide .

[SVcummins]

Ive bought the cheap Ones for my baler they just dont last

 

[SVcummins]

The little devil started working again . What if anything should I lube it with ? I know my cheap ones on the baler I use liquid wrench but that makes the numbers fall off

tequila makes her clothes fall off, so cant use that, nor much else a person can do. unless spray around the shaft with some wd40. it might be sticky.

 

[SVcummins]

Theres a name on it itll have to look

Turbine oil just like you use in a fan motor.

If it's a veeder root and it looks like it is it's usually just gummed up inside. You can take it apart and clean it but be careful. There's a lot of brass gears, bushings and washers that have to go back in the right order. We used to repair them at the first cotton mill I worked at 50 years ago. I still have a little can of spare parts. The brass pieces come in handy once in a while.

It still works; so- -sit down and take off the arm and then the one side and carefully clean out with some alcohol .. Then I second the use of
Turbine-Oil to lub the insides with..

 

[SVcummins]

That thing has a million acres on it I bet

At work we used Ronson liter fluid to clean dial[ calipers and indicators. It does not leave a film or residue. It is naphtha.

I once worked in an aircraft plant where we had plenty of toluene that we used for cleaning purposes. We also had MEK and we filled our Zippo lighters with it. The MEK worked fine. But one day I had no MEK on hand so I filled my Zippo with toluene.

About 20 minutes or so later I tried to use my Zippo and it didn't work. I pulled the lighter out of the case and the white stuff inside just poured out. The toluene had turned it to a liquid.

Darn throwaway society. Why spend $29.99 on a new one when you can pay a guy $150 to fix the one you already have?
