[AT] 90wt

[Chris Britton]

As long as the tractors shareing the implements are allusing a UTF type 
oil.. I don't see a problem.  If you are using implements on a few 
tractorsd.. some that uses common sump.. and some that don't.. I surely 
wouldn't want plain aw-32 in my tractors rear end... Or the implement was 
from a ford N.. and the implement used the rear end oil.. I wouldn't want 
90wt in my system.. if I needed UTF.

Aside from the hand waving that all oils in remotes are fine and don't hurt 
anything at all.. -do- keep in mind what type of oil is in use.. plain aw 32 
.... utf.. or gear oil..
