90W, but not any modern one!!; it has things in it that will harm the brass bushing etc.. Fifth Ave Garage has the right one. They are in Clay Center in Kansa City, Kansas. Google them for phone number! The Ford parts dealer in s. carolina has it too! Regards, Steve Lee

Or............... If you have a Tractor Supply store in your state, stop and see them. They carry a large assortment of old oils and gear lubs. This message was edited by nelsb01 on 5-12-20 @ 7:50 PM

You can also buy SAE 90W API GL-1 Mineral Gear Oil at your friendly NAPA store. It is available in 1 gallon containers under part no. 65-201. If they don't have any in stock, they can order it for you and have it in a day or so.

You'll need to remove the side plate from the transmission obviously. Once removed, I grind flat one end of the pin that holds the arm to the respective shaft. Once flat, center punch, drill to about 1/8" diameter and drive out with a drift. Arm comes off, seal is exposed. Install new seal, place arm over shaft. I use 1/4" diameter cold rolled steel for new pins. First I cut a length to about 2". Place in my vise with perhaps 1/8" protruding. Hammer the end over by working around the perimeter. Once you are happy with you hammer work, install the pin in to the arm / shaft. Cut the long end of the pin off within about 1/8" - 3/16" from the arm. Hold the assembly against your vise or anvil with the already peened side of the pin down. Hammer the recently cut end over the same way you did the first end. All done. Of course, if you want to do it quick and easy and "correct" doesn't matter, just insert a bolt, lock washer and nut. Mike "Kube" Kubarth
