Today I'm spending maintenance and explore time on this 59 - 871.
Changing SOS fluid with 134 equivalent. While i have the filler plug out and the drain open, is there any advantage to flushing the case out? And what would be best? Diesel? I don't want to damage the glyptol coating.
2. I have the traction coupler inspection plate off. I see that the lever fits in a sliding coupler. It wont move by hand (the coupler on the shaft), but the coupler is forward on the splined shaft. I?m assuming that is in the engaged position. Correct?
Should i attempt to slide the coupler back and then fit the plate and lever? Or, just fit it while it is in the forward position? My wheel and fender is on. Best to remove them? It appears that the lever was not connected at all. It was loose in both positions.
3. Rear case fluid is rusty brown. Best to drain and replace now? Do I use same hydraulic oil as in tranny case?
