[Farmall] Gear Oil

[Grant Brians]

In the 1930's Caterpillars that I have, it is always standard Gear Oil -
85W140 or 80W90. I have never used anything else except in modern units that
share oils and take either ATF or Hytran type fluids. One item that you
should clarify in your question is if there are exposed gears. If so, then
you need to coat them with a semi-solid lubricant.

What are you folks using for gear lube in the older units?
I'm restoring a 1928 Russell Road Grader that uses a 10-20 (I-20)
McCormick Deering for power.
I'm using the cast iron "tub" from a 1934 10-20, as the original one on
the grader was broken
at the wheel hub on the right rear.

Also using the bull gear and some of the transmission gears from the 34.
