Lubrication Procedure
I found a chart online and I have a couple books that cover it. I noticed that the Differential calls for 'grease'. Would they mean a heavy oil? Maybe 600W? What do others use?

Re: Lubrication Procedure
A liquid grease is what is needed. 600W is fine. Penrite also has a good gearlube.

Re: Lubrication Procedure
no pun intended but to "add" to this thread Lubriplate 140W for standard rear ends and 90W for Ruckstell.
Also under your floor board area on the inner part of the frame that is probably covered with dirt ect. like my 26 Fordor was are lubrication holes for the hand brake supports to the frame. There is a hole between the two supporting bolts for oiling the rod ends. Clean out the holes and add oil cups. You will most likely have to remove one side alternately and clean the mud/dirt out to start fresh. |

Re: Lubrication Procedure
If you used regular heavy gear oil. drain it out now! The right stuff can be had from the Model T suppliers. The stuff they sell 'down the street' will harm the babbit in your rear. This may result in loss of proper gear mesh and also the loss of trans braking ability.
When first I serviced mine, I bought it from Bob's. All was fine. Years later I just grabbed the hose in my gas station. Filled her up. Then after several hundred miles the rear went South.

Re: Lubrication Procedure
"will harm the babbit in your rear." It there is still babbitt thrust washers in it (not babbitt, type of white metal), more then likely the rear end will be going south anyway no matter what lube is used!
Look for a G4 140 lube at the parts store. While the other rear end lubes sold will wear away the brass thrust washers, the amount most of us drive our Ts, would take our lifetime and maybe several others for it to become an issue.
