It looks like AMSOILs website lists their 75w-90 manual transmission fluid as being compatible with the nv4500. I have a 95 with nv4500, last change I used the gm fluid I believe the 12346190. It looks like it is no longer made, my next change will probably be the AMSOIL.

I just changed my mom’s jd lt155 k51 transmission fluid about 6 months ago. Not sure if it takes the same oil but I used Mobil 1 20w50.

Yup citric acid flush gets my vote, I bought I think a 4 pound bag off of Amazon for my 1995 dodge Cummins. The radiator had a ton of deposits and I ended up getting impatient with the process and decided to get a gallon of the 20 or 30% vinegar. Do not use that, I put it in and drained it in...

That’s also a great filter I hear, supposed to have bypass filter inside. Can’t go wrong with fleet guard filters.

I’d recommend a dbl7349 filter, I have one on my 95 Cummins and it seems to keep oil cleaner longer of course that is up for debate but it also has an excellent efficiency rating with Donaldson’s synteq media.

No expert but project farm did a comparison with construction adhesives, I believe the 8x came out on top with the 3x not far behind, maybe loosing to jb weld or 3m 5200. Personally I love the 3x works great for wood and general construction adhesive. I’ve even set all thread in concrete with...

I have found that the cobalt grease is very good at resisting water washout and has very good anti rust along with anti wear properties. I have used it in almost everything. I bought a case of Schaeffers 219 aluminum complex and it’s good but I feel cobalt is a little more tacky and does not...

most older cars will have small issues that need addressing, for the price seems to be a good deal. I have 2007 Yaris a/t, 310,000 miles on it, burns no oil. Still use it commute and has been a very reliable vehicle since I’ve owned it ay 195,000 miles. Mine also has a low idle and sometimes...

Thanks for the responses, interesting after ready your comments I looked at the product data sheet for cobalt and they list it as “load wear index scar”. Looking around I don’t see any other grease specs listing the load wear index scar. Even googling load wear index scar brings up very little...

Hey guys I have been looking at the product data sheets of different greases and their specs, and something I discovered caught my eye with the 4 ball weld test and wear scar or astm d2596. When looking at valvoline cobalt data sheet they list their wear scar at 1.15mm which appears much...

I have not used either of those however I’m sure both are decent helmets. I have used a Miller performance on and off for roughly 10 years and besides 2 buttons not working from me leaving it outside in the rain still works fine. My current shield is a Lincoln Viking I think 3350 with their 4c...

A good powder coat Job very tough to remove and either needs to be mechanically or chemically removed with industrial grade paint stripper. I would recommend using phosphoric acid sold as rust oleum gel rust remover, metal prep and etch, also ospho is good to help dissolve some of the rust that...

My vote goes to lubriplate gr-132 or syn gr-132. After reading about what grease to use in angle grinder heads. I came across lubriplate and they specifically developed this grease for small electrical tool gear box’s...

Yup, I just had same issue with a new tube. I really wanted to like valvoline full synthetic grease but I just can’t get past how it seems dried out, out of a brand new tube. I’m sure it does lubricate but after switching to valvoline cobalt ,a lithium sulphonate base and when it touches a...

I agree traveller marine and off road is a good choice. With a water washout of .5 which is less than paragon 3000 of .75%. It also has a pretty good 4 ball weld point and timken ok load. Plus it is reasonably priced at $6.50 and readily available if you have a local tsc.
