I saw the post below the talks about 90wt. GL-1 but the manual for my Unstyled A says that I need 140 weight oil for my transmission. I need to find 140 weight GL-1 somewhere and I don't know where to look.

Or, would it be OK to use the 90 weight? The book says 32 degrees and below use 90 weight and above 32 degrees use 140 weight. 95% of my operation is above 32 degrees.

So, where can I find 140wt. GL-1? And, is the 90wt. too light for my operation if I have to use it?

Thanks

How do you use your unstyled A tractor? Do you pull a three bottom plow for 10 hours a day or do you use it to ride the grandkids around or to pull a hayride trailer?? If you do serious farming with it, the 140 weight would be great. If you use it for joy rides, anything will do just fine.

Mainly just driving but some 2-12 plowing in the future, 11 foot single gang disk and possibly running a pull combine next year as well. But to summarize more driving than anything.

Way beck when, all the hoopala about the GL may have been correct.

Now in most cases the yellow metal non friendly stuff is not in the GL 5 even.

Check on the labels.

The ole tractor does not mind modernization.

I looked and looked for stright 140 wt. You can find it in McMaster Carr see page 2090. You can also try CENPECO or call your local Mobil, Exxon or other oil distributor.

The 85W140 will not reduce gear whine as much as straight 140. 90 wt seems to be too thin. They all will provide adequate wear protection.

The GL-1 oil is readily available in this area (northeast Missouri) in either 90 or 140. My fuel and oil supplier carries it all the time. I have been told that 50 weight engine oil is very close to the viscosity of 90 weight gear lube but haven't confirmed this. Mike

Larry wolf, Clearwater KS phone 620 545-7628 advertises 140 wt GL-1 in 5 gallons pails. His ad is in the magazines every month. Walmart has stopped carrying GL-1 in the stores around here (Michigan) Some NAPA stores can/will get 90 but I've had no luck getting 140 from them.

While this oil might meet specks it is more like 80# oil, very thin. i didnt think much of it . my 2 cents.

Check WalMart -- for either 80W-140 or 90W-140 gear oil. The cost here in South Central Texas is around $9/gallon. (PatB)

GL-4 Marine and it has to be marine GL-4, is the best in old equipment where GL-1 is speced. It provides superior wear protection,corrosion protection and tolerates being mixed with rain water, condensation and fresh/salt water leaking in through seals. GL-4 Marine does not attack copper based metals found in some transmissions. 140wt will leak & dribble slower than 90wt.
