[AT] Transmission oil, 90-wt?

[Lyle Myles]

Should we count the bird shot to make sure that we have the same amount in
each tire? Hate to think the old tractor my be lopsided.

May the Lord be with each and everyone this beautiful day that the Lord has
given each and every one of us to enjoy and behold!

No, Dean. What you have to do is bring the tire valve up to the top, 
jack the axle up, remove the valve, and drop lead bird shot into the 
tires one at a time, until you have filled them right up to the top, put 
the valve back in, and put the air back in. That way, no matter what you 
put in the transmission, you will never flip the tractor. (Of course, it 
may never move under its own power again, but it won't roll over.) ;-))
