I figured it out. The Seal is actually a thin steel sleeve coated in some kind of hard rubber or plastic. It was very hard to remove and the outer plastic coating pulled out on the ID leaving the rest of the seal in place. The steel sleeve exposed giving the impression it was the ID of the...

You said you replaced the lip seal yourself. I am having trouble getting the seal to start. It comes with a red tool to support the hard rubber seal. I measure the od of the seal an it is about .830" . The bore it is to fit into is .770". That is a large press fit . Something does not seem...

I hear you. I just do not want to fool with this again. The seal was a PITA to fully remove and clean up the surfaces. I ended up getting the straight 90 GL4 gear oil from Advance auto. That should do the job. I think you mean 1 Quart not 1 pint. Every thing I read said to fill it about...

I am thinking how hot will the transmission ever get on a 15 minute cycle. Not as hot as a car or truck transmission. I am assuming, but I bet I am right. An 75w-90 will never get hot enough to get to the 90. Again I am assuming. But I bet I am right. Doing one load after another , maybe.

I am resurrecting this because I am having trouble finding a 90w GL4 oil that is available locally. I don't want to use the 75w-90 that is readily available in my network of local stores. Because of leak probability. What are peoples thoughts on adding some kind of leak stopper proactively...

Why dont you give us the name of that Car dealer. So we can avoid.

I would not flush with your garden hose( city water). You wont get it all out and it has too many electrolytes in it.

Not really off topic. I assume you are looking for a good value FS motor oil. I do not belong to Costco, so it is not very relevant to me, but I am sure it is to many who will read the responses. A good thread has responses that are on topic and will help lots more than just the author.

Create engines can come with a Million Mile warranty. I have 210k on my Kia Sedona. The 1st owner has 3k mile oil changes for the first 190k. He always used 5w-30 even though the manual says 5w-20. I am the second owner and I switched to Full syn and go 6k. I stayed with the 5w-30 since it...

I thought the link said The Penzoil $25 rebate expired on 2/1/24. But on another thread it said it starts then. Anyway, it all comes down to weather or not they will accept the retailer you buy from. Correct? I saw some saying it worked at my local Walmart implying it is location dependent...

Thanks. I just missed out on the Penzoil Platimum rebate by a few weeks. My gut feeling was pretty much confirmed with most of the answers. I am not going to get into the car details. They are just basic vehicles. Not race cars or taxi cabs that run 23 hours a day. I think I have enough...

OK, I had to look up what GTL means. Now I know. I have seen Made form Natural gas on Some Penzoil products. In layman's terms, why is that the better option? Other than Pennzoil, who else is using GTL technology.? Thanks!!!!

I would skip the thread chaser and wire wheel the drain plug. You can be a bit more aggressive with it. If you actually can feel a high spot or abnormal protrusion you can file it down with a diamond file or similar. Or just buy a new drain plug at any auto part store. The import thing is...

With all of the different brands of motor oils out there, and opinions on this and that how can an average person decide on what is the best value oil for someone wanting to do ~6k mile OCI? I use a 5w-30 and have live in a location that sees hot summers and cold winters. I could spend 100...

Those Tecumseh's have cast iron cylinder sleeves and are tough. Not as efficient as the OHV but they are work horses and if you take care of it, it can make it to 50 years and still do the job. Keep the oil changed as needed and top off as needed. It is the ones that run with low oil that wear...

They actually got out of the small engine business because Sears pushed their suppliers for cost savings and they got dumped for Chinese Engines. For Decades, Sears Craftsman was the largest ODPE seller in the country. The Tecumseh Snow King and HM series has been used on most all USA made snow...

This post partly answered my questions. I can use the Calcium Sulfonate with Lithium based greases. What happens if I slip up and it gets mixed with another type of grease? What is the real risk?

Thanks for all of the ideas. It came with some kind of grease in it that dried up and or washed out. Maybe a bit of both. I do not know its history. Some of what you see is rust particles and some is the solid parts from the grease. The solid particles jambed the gears. The same differential...

I am not sure what was used originally in this Bolens differential box. The same differential was used on JD and some other brands 30 plus years ago. It is completely dry and seems like it is full of dry dirt and grit. Note all of debris on the floor which fell out of it. That pic was taken...

Everyone has their favorites. I have had good luck with Free All. I can't say it is the best. I do not know what the best is because I have not tied everything. I think it did very well in the PF tests. Better than PB Blaster and Kroil which I have used and concur with Project Farm.
