Herb:
I use about 1/2 00 grease and 1/2 80/90 gear lube in my truck 
transmissions.   One is a Roadranger, and it still shifts fairly well if 
you don't use the clutch.   The D-14 does not use the transmission sump 
for the hydraulic oil,so it should work alright.

I have been sorta busy since Christmas.  My wife went in to the heart 
hospital on Christmas morning, and had a quad bypass on Dec 30.  Since 
then I have been the chief cook and bottle washer around here.   Things 
are sorta getting back to normal now.
