[Farmall] Gear Oil

[Barney Van De Weert]

If leaks are an issue, you could use cornhead grease, available at combine Dealers. It could get expensive though. I have been told that it stays in the gearboxes pretty well.

They originally used straight SAE 140. It is a little hard to find these days but is still made. It would probably be your best bet to avoid 
leaks from the old felt seals and rope packings.

What are you folks using for gear lube in the older units?
'm restoring a 1928 Russell Road Grader that uses a 10-20 (I-20) 
cCormick Deering for power.
'm using the cast iron "tub" from a 1934 10-20, as the original one on 
he grader was broken
t the wheel hub on the right rear.
Also using the bull gear and some of the transmission gears from the 34.
