Hi all. Just wondering if anyone out there knows what type of gear lube I can use as an adequate replacement for the AMF gear lube, and where I might find it? I've asked 3 different people so far and I've gotten 3 different answers [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img] . I'm looking at changing it in all of my machines (as it hasn't been done in quite some time) and was thinking there must be something out there cheaper than the $9.50 a pint AMF wants for it. I'm kinda lost here, and would greatly appreciate any and all help. Thanks much!
Hey Kingpin, the original gear lube was called Sohivis 156. The 156 standing for 156 wt viscosity. Sohio now may be Marathon Oil Co. Not sure. All I know. Good Luck
Wisconsin is very close to some lakes with some harbours...The ships over there are using all kind of oils..Maybe it's a good idea to do like I do go to the harbour(with the name and number of the oil you use) and I'm sure they have it. Possibly under another name. Dentax and Fiona have been taken over I think. I use Valvata 1000 for my combi's now(I'm at home right now and I can't remember the name of the thinner oil for the BE's).
Good luck.

Chevron makes a comparable oil to Sohovis. It's 150w. At $33 for a five gallon bucket, the price is great and I really liked the oil. I was getting it in Alaska and have yet to find something in Arizona. I will post the product number on Monday; I have it at work.

Well I was wrong the oil is 140#; and Chevron still has it.
Chevron Gear Oil RPM 140. The price has gone up to $42 in Alaska, any jobber should carry it or be able to get it.

Can somebody give an explaniton how pins 2, 3, 6 are supposed to be connected. I had a shortcircuit there for the drive motor connection because of water leakage.
I have a distributor that is pulling the belt hard to the left in the nine pin position (and possibly 6 pin), but seems fine in the other spots. As you can see the residue and...
I have several Pin Elevators that I believe to be out of round on my XLi's and was curious if anyone has ever run across this before and is so, what you did about it.
I'm...
