I recommend you don't do it. Well recognised as carcinogenic.
Or just use a Schutz gun , lots of protective clothing and expensive mask.

Expensive, but a damn good gun the bottle is pressurised, so would spray gear oil, unlike a paraffin gun which uses a venturi to suck the oil out of the bottle.

Wow, Im only thinking of spraying waste oil on a couple of implements as to preserve them, the only reason Im thinking this way, is because I have read so many machine adverts, and a lot say always oiled up at the end of the season!

I use an old worn out paint spray gun. It atomises the oil creating a fine mist that gets into places you often cant reach. Great for blasting into cavities and down box sections.
Oh, and wear a mask.

A basic paint spray gun from machine mart will do the job but you have to dilute the oil with diesel to get it through. You don’t need massive air flow either otherwise it atomises it too much. You will be well advised to wear coverall, rubber gloves, wellies and a decent chemical mask for your own benefit. It is a quick and easy way of covering ploughs, fert spreader, combine header etc.
We have got one of these......https://www.mytoolshed.co.uk/hozelo...max-fill-5-litre.html?utm_source=bingshopping
can use this ^ for disinfecting as well which is also inadvisable in a normal garden/knapsack sprayer.
…... as the seals /o rings in them aren't up to coping with the chemicals
Used oil is evil . use cheapest new engine oil you can get and dilute with a bit of diesel (which is not ideal but it wont go through these type things unless its thinned in someway.
I use the above if im away from the the compressors but when using one for the job ... favour

a gravity fed spray gun especially if its only a small amount needed, still need to thin the oil tho
Happy days.

Is there any point in greasing oiling or painting a plough....it only gets a surface rust on it...dragging it through 1 acre probably removes more steel off it than the surface rust

From experience, yes there most certainly is.

We use this type with a compressor, handy for balers, combine beds, etc, where reaching in with a brush is difficult, your not after a fine spray spitting blobs of oil is more accurate. I have heard putting a bit of oil / diesel into a combines guts is a good way for avoiding guests. But I preferred to store them away from guests rather than relying on it.
Another good use is for oiling chains they let you stand back from the moving machine and oil the chains in motion if you have someone to sit in the tractor/machine and turn in on and off for you.

We use a sand blaster gun, same as the paraffin gun but with larger suction pipe and nozzle, will suck thick oil. You can cover a large area in seconds.

If you have cra@ppy non-scouring soils like ours, then definitely yes. We have to sand all the paint off new mouldboards to get them to work and even after oiling we get a sticky portion on all the boards for the first 50 acres. Rusty boards would just turn our plough into an immovable 5 leg subsoiler.
Takes more draft/ fuel if its a rough and sticky mouldboard.harder to set up the plough as well when you start for the season...
You would be surprised how much metal is wasted by that rusted layer and also it leaves pits in the surface that can be there for quite some time and will not be as good at its job as a smoother surface. Mouldboards and metal arent cheap these days...
Its one of the things, like also the baler that is best sprayed with oil and packed away in the shed . Or waxoyl on the plough if hes left out side.
