Diema DL6 wheels

Hallo!
Ich haben eine Frage zu Diema räder.

Well, I have to write the rest in english.   

I have a Diema DL6/3 (number 3049). The wheels are in quite bad condition so i have to repear them by welding.
I am wondering if someone att Kipplore can help me out choosing weld electrode for this project.

And one more question. What sort of oil shall I put in the gearbox and engine of the Diema. It has original Deutz aircooled engine.   

I would keep the lok in this state.

It is a unic Diema, there are no others like thisone.

And special builded loks are also a kind of history

so; why the changing??

Well I have been thinking like You for some years already. It is of course kind of special like it is now but it would also be great to have a small loco like Diema DL6. It is really hard ti decide what to do. Best of all would be that if I could find an other small loco.
I also have an other loco that looks almost the same as the Diema.

A Valmet Move 1! Beautiful loco when in original condition. Unfortunately this one isn't .   

I have a Move1 that is quite close to original too. I will show some pictures to You later.

Please, Robert!

Hello Robert,
this is a nice story about your Diema. The pictures from 1974 when the loco worked at the diatomite plant in Komu are awesome.

Back to your questions:
Welding the wheels – maybe you can get some hints in this thread: [Sie müssen registriert oder eingeloggt sein, um diesen Link sehen zu können]
Google translation might help you.

Oil in the motor:
I think you can use mineral oil like 10W-30 or 15W-40.

Oil in the gearbox:
The Diema gearbox needs a motor oil with low viscosity.

Hello Robert,

I'm using 15W40-oil in both (engine and gearbox) in my DL6 (2650/1963) with no problems.
