Ford Model T steering box oil works great, too. It is available a multitude of places in Hemmings. Best, Ray

Often heavy weight oil such 90 or 140 SAE is available form heavy machinery shops that deal in large earth moving machines, especially large wheel loaders. In addition, there is a special lubricant plant in Geneva, Illinois with its own web site, www.clclubricants.com. Their phone number is 630-232-7900. I have used them for other, custom made lubricants. WW Cordin TC 6749

Mark: Redline 75W140NS is excellent in both the gearbox and diff. You can usually get it at a good speed shop. I also believe Skip Kelsey is a dealer or you can get it direct from Redline. Ken TC 4147 mark andrew wrote:

Mark Go to a John Deere Dealer, if he does not have it, should be able to get it in a few days, one gallon can, used in the older tractors Cheers Dean -----Original Message----- From: mark andrew [mailto:mgandrew@adelphia.net] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 5:51 PM To: mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com Subject: [mg-tabc] Gearbox Lube Hello to all My TC is fresh out of long-term, 25 years, storage.

Actually, Both I and REDLINE recommend their 80W-140 for the DIFF on the TC. , and the 75W-140 NS for the transmission. And yes,I do carry both. Cheers: Skip Kelsey........................................... At 08:56 AM 5/10/02 -0400, kwcp wrote:
