 Topic: Gear lube in frt pedestal
Posted: 31 Dec 2011 at 9:44pm |

I changed the seals in the front steering pedestal on my WD Allis. I am looking for the number weight of gear lube that is in there and where can I get some? I have been told that it may be number 250 weight but have not found it anywhere.

85-140 will work just fine. You can get it by the quart at napa.

I run John Deere corn head grease in mine. It's a flow-able grease that tends not to leak as bad.

If I use straight 140 weight lube in the front end will that leak out?

That will depend on how worn things are. Whith new seals I would doubt it, but if the surfaces the seals seat on are not true you could still have some leakage.
