Just got my new outer dust seals in for the steering box on my 1952 TO-30 and needed alittle input. I am too cheap to buy the overpriced 10 page manual at TSC. (is there a good manual out there?) Anyway when I put in these seals do I need to put some sealer around the collar before I slip them in or should it be metal to metal? I assume they go in with the numbers on the outside as the old ones where installed. Also what do you all recommend for gear oil. I have heard that regular oil is what goes in there, but was thinking a heavier gear oil might be better. I did not replace the inner bushings as there was very little play in them and no grooves or wear on the shafts.
You know who needs a manual anyway when you have this great forum with all these really nice folks anyway. Kind of nice to make new friends along the way and fix a project. Cant get that with any manual. Thanks again gang and thanks for the great forum.
