Gentlemen, George the Oliver (1951 Row Crop 88) is up and running! Only took 5 years of hard work for complete restoration. Thoughts on the type of transmission oil to use for the
transmission? Questioning because in the Manuals I have some say 90-140 SAE, while in other areas it is suggested to use either 5w-30 or 5w-20. TY! And yes, I do have the side
panels :)

Per the owner's manual (p. 23) 140 gear oil for above 32 degrees F which may be hard to find today. 85W-140 would be a substitute easily found in nearly all auto parts stores. Having run an 88 the heavier oil will help quiet the transmission and I would recommend an additive such as what Lucas sells to aid that.
 
Sweet looking machine.
Awesome picture.

We run Cen-pe-co from Ohio.
80-90 in our 88.

Congrats on your hard work. We have some projects like this, long time coming.
Keep up the postings.
