RDD,
Now that you brought this subject up, I've been reading both the TM's and doing searches. I have yet to find how MUCH gear oil goes into the axles. As my front's are leaking, I want to add some until I have the time to check the seals (which I will have to get) and replace the boots (which I have).

SO, how MUCH gear oil goes in the axles? Specifically the front axles. I have not crawled under my truck yet to check, but do either of the rear axles use the axle boot?

And if it's NOT too much trouble, WHERE are the specs for how much oil goes in which component? I would like to print that out and then have it laminated so I will always have it handy when I start changing over to Royal Purple. Plus it lets me calculate how much ProLong to add to each item.

Thx in advance. jim

Wallew, stupid question, but have you checked the data plate on the dash?

 

[red devils dude]

here thet are
Differential 6 qts (each) GO 80/90
transfer case 7 qts GO 80/90
transmission 8-1/2 pts (w/ PTO) GO 80/90

The Lubrication Order, LO 9-2320-209-12-1 is the word on how much goes where. Do you have that TM?

Mangus,
DUH, didn't even THINK about that one. thx

Well, I just looked. It gives engine, cooling system and fuel. No tranny, transfer or diffs. IT DOES give the LO manual numbers for those. Learning, learning, learning...

RDD,
Thx.

Sixbuy,
I'm working on it. rdixiemiller is going to ship me a cd with all the TM's for the deuce on it. THEN I should have that info. And no wonder, I've been reading TM's, not LO's. Learn something new every day here. Thx

The engine is 22 qts, right?

 

[red devils dude]

engine I is 22qts yes I just get 5gal's.

 

[mangus580]

LO should be in the TM section Wallew....

And as far as topping them up, fill them to just below the filler side level hole thingy.

I use Warren 90wt GL1 that I get at Agri-Supply for $25 a bucket (5 gallon pail...). According to both the website and the info on the bucket, it exceeds all the mil standards for what the M35's gearboxes call for...
If you do go with a GL5, just make sure that you get one that is also MT1 rated to insure that you don't bugger the yellow metal components...
Anyway, my point is that you might want to check with your local agricultural supply house as a lot of the stuff running on folks' farms is vintage...

I got Supertech GL-1 from Walmart for about $24 a bucket. It's also made my Warren Like Cabell's stuff. Walmart here is spotty. Had it for a while, didn;t for a year then had it again. Haven't seen it in 6 months now.

I have 2 five gallon buckets brand new of Valvoline High Performance Gear Oil 80W-90 if any is near Aztec NM and wants to buy them for cheap.

FWIW - You can also get GL1 from NAPA. Just order P/N 65-205, it is about $30.00 for a 5 gallon pail.

Traveller brand 80W, got it in 5 gallon buckets from Tractor Supply Co.
