Gentlemen, I have a 1940 JD L Serial #633788 and the manual I have (Dir. No. 206-5-57) calls for using SAE 90W oil in the clutch housing, transmission and final drives. I went to a local JD dealer who reccomended a JD GL-5 85W140 gear lubricant. I have been using this the past few years without any problems or complications. However, I have been seeing many discussions about this topic and also read through the archives and still have some serious doubts and confusion about what I am using and concerns about damaging internal gears, bushings and bearings. This tractor is used only for shows and parades and is kept indoors the rest of the time. I am wondering if I should go to GL-4 or GL-1 in 90W or 85W140? I hesitate to use the GL-1 due to the effects of water condensation collecting since none of the cavities have breathers. I do change all fluids each season, so should this be a concern at all? I truly appreciate any suggestions and help. Thank you all for your time and patience.

I don't think you will have any problems with that oil, I do commend you on the religious changing of the rear end and all oils, if everyone did that, there would be less problems, I run 80-90 in all my tractors, Just my thoughts

Oil companies & manufacturers are recomending using 80W 90W multi grade gear oil, as a replacement for Straight 90W in our area.
