The can I got is labeled 90 gear oil, but the NAPA guy said that it is 80W-90 gear oil and he showed me that on his computer. It is NAPA number 65-205. When I got it home, I read the label and it says it is GL-1 and is for non EP (exteme pressure) applications. This is for use in letter series tractors and my IH-140. I'm thinking I'm going to take this back, because I think I should be using something rated GL-4 or 5 which is for EP applications. He did not have anything in his small store that was labeled 80-90W, but I looked that up on the internet and I think it would be NAPA number 75213. Should I use what I got, or take it back??
65-205 is GL-1 90w mineral oil. good stuff for old tractor trans/rears.
It is not 80w-90 gear oil. 80w-90 is thinner among other things.
I use 65-205 in my early Fords with a pump in the belly..
on other Fords, Farmalls, and JD with no pumps, I use either
65-205 or modern 85w-140 in the rear/tranny.
(can't find straight 140 here, or I would use that to tame old gears)

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
