Slowly restoring a 39 JD A. Have an elementary question for you guys about the trans/rear end oil. The book calls for 140 wt. The large local oil supplier says that there is no such thing. Offered up 85-140. I almost bought it but thought I would check back with you.
Thanks!

I buy 140 wt from a local specialty lube place.
I was told to use 140 becuase these old girls leak less with the thicker oil.

My lube guy can get 460 wt gear oil!
He has been asked for 600 wt. but hasn't found a source for 600 wt

If it's going to be a trailer queen then 90 wt. is fine. CalJim

P.S. CalJim, I think, it's a boy. I'm new at this and not good at sexing them yet but when I put the little JD H in the barn I could detect a bit of excitement.

Your supplier has not looked hard enough. Tell him you need GL1-140 gear lube. He will most likley have to special order it. The 85-140 will work, but the GL1-140 will certainly be quieter.

I've gotten some from my local Exxon distributor. There also used to be a seller of Gl1-140 in greenmagazine, but I'm not sure if I've seen the ad latley.
