How much rear end oil does A 1935 JD D require? What is the recomended weight to use. What is a good way to clean the housing. Is the rearend and transmission housing seperate from the crankcase. Also I have a small knock in my fan shaft should this be anything to worry about?

Thank You

Al

. Al, the information you got from Brandon & Walt is correct & what the book says.
~I & a lot of other "D" owners just put 5 gallons in the "D" trans after draining & cleaning the trans as that keeps the oil level below the axle seals & quill bolts to help prevent leaks & puddles on the floor. As long as you aren't going to farm with it on side hills it will get plenty of lube to the trans with 5 gallons as the chains bring the oil up from almost the bottom of the trans. ~Regardless of the trans oil level, if you are going to do some belt pulley work with it you should pack the L/H trans input shaft bearing with wheel bearing grease after cleaning as it gets almost no oil while the trans is in neutral & turning for belt operation.
~The trans is pretty easy to clean in the old "D's" by removing the big top cover, that will allow access to most of the rear of the trans & you can use kerosene to clean it. After draining the trans, put about 5 gallons of kerosene in the trans then jack a rear wheel up & run it for a while in gear, then use a stick or something to reach down in & kind of stir/scrape the sides & bottom to loosen the crud from the bottom & sides, then drain again. You might need a couple of kerosene changes to get it fairly clean

Yes the transmission is separate from the crankcase. You could probably clean it out with diesel fuel or kerosene. A wire brushing would help too.

Hope you own stock in an oil company-this is from the D operators manual:

"Always keep oil in transmission case 6 1/2 inches (7 gallons) deep at large sprockets."

This is for the normal transmission. The values could vary to 10 gallons (for 28 tooth sprockets) or 15 gallons (for certain tractors with mud guards).

It says to use 140 weight oil for above 32 degrees, and 90 for below. A modern multiweight oil would be just fine-although, I've heard that it makes the transmission a little noisier.

You should get an operators manual. It will answer many of the maintenance questions that you might have about your D. You can get one at your local John Deere dealer, or order one through a 1-800 number, which I don't remember.

Good luck,
Brandon
