Has anyone used oil bath hubs on a TT?
I'm in the process of buying a Nash 26X TT (and still keeping the DP). I've been interested in using oil bath hubs on a TT when I got one so someone forwarded me this info. I still need to make sure...

You may like the oil bath on your track machine but there is no reason for it on a small TT. MUD won't be coming in the doors and they aren't drive wheels. The bearings in the TT should go about 25 or 30 thousand miles before they need grease.
Actually none of the wheels on the Nodwell are drive wheels, they're just the suspension and to carry the weight. The drive is provided by the sprockets in the very rear.
I'll agree the oil bath isn't necessary on a TT, but I like the idea like I like my red truck. If I put disc brakes o next summer causing me to work on the axles, I'll probably make this change also.
