![]() ![]() Whatever you decide, post again to let us know how it worked. Turns out the oil was simply to thick to work its way through the gears. I made the mistake of putting gear oil in the headstock of my new Taiwanese lathe years ago, until a bearing started squealing. The main thing to remember is that the lube must be "oozy" enough to climb through the transmission gears, but heavy enough to properly lube the differential too. There are multi weight gear oils too these days, that will easily outperform anything from "back in the day". A lot of the old tractors' transmissions and final drives shared the same oil, so they might be of help. Now, if that seems a bit extreme, I'd suggest checking with one of the antique tractor suppliers. If you think this might fill the bill, remember that it REALLY gets thick in cold weather! It is available from any antique car supplier, BUT usually only in 1 quart jugs. We also sell vinyl by the yard, laminate by the sheet and aluminum edging. It's a black, very viscous (thick) lubricant that SMELLS like gear oil should. Replacement Parts Our Products We offer replacement parts for our bar stools and diner chairs, such as replacement seats and backs and replacement foot glides. I don't know the age of your ALF, but model T Fords always used 600 weight gear oil in the rear axle. This advice will cost you nothing and is worth every penny. ![]()
