Default Re: Another 7 tooth Steering Question

There is a lower seal retainer that includes a tube, see link below. What this does is raise the leakage point to above the level of the oil in the box so that the box will not leak from the retainer.

The 600W oil was fine in 1930 but oils have been improved since then. The modern oils include additives that reduce wear. I recommend 90W-140 G5 gear oil in the steering box.
