Stormin Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Nice pictures Norman, I have never seen that one before, what was on at Tatton this weekend ?John Just a craft and country shopping fair. There were a few fair ground rides about and this Scammel was powering one of them. Albeit with a remote generator in the trailer behind, rather than the on board engines.

daz76 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi. Can someone who has an Explorer on the road tell me which oils I need to get hold of as I want to change all the gear/axle/diff oils soon. This is what I understand so far: SAE 140 for the rear diff SAE 90 for the gear/transfer boxes and rear walking beams Does the front axle use 140 or 90 and what about the winches, front swivel housings and steering box? I'd appreciate advice from anyone as I've heard conflicting advice. Don't want to order the wrong stuff obviously. Thanks. Daz :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrtcrowther Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was going to put 140 in the walking beams and rear diff as thats whats in them now and 90 in the front diff and gearboxes. Further advice please chaps.:readbook: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how different 90 and 140 are. Hopefully someone will shed some light. Hope the rebuild's coming along nicely. Daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 According to my workshop manual OC600 for rear axle,steering box,steering linkage,swivel bearings,vertical winch,jib winch,clutch operating linkage,brake linkage,accelerator linkage,propeller shaft bearings,generator bearings and all lubricating nipples ! OMD330 front axle,gearbox and transfer box. OMD110 for Engine,air cleaners,air compressor,starter motor,steering cylinder,servo cylinders (front and main),winch dog clutch,jib winding gear,and oil can lubrication LG280 for fan and coolant pump bearings,clutch withdrawal bearing and front hub bearings. XG271 magneto greaser and front swivels ! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrtcrowther Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 So are the walking beams and diff all the rear axle. One compleat unit? The same type of oil in both?:???:??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XG271 magneto greaser and front swivels ! :-D Thanks Andy mate! Just need to find the modern equivalents to these so I'll get in touch with Morris oils and see if they can shed some light. Looking at this the whole rear axle (ie diff and walking beams) uses the same OC600 throughout whilst the front axle shares the same as the gearboxes. Great help Ta. :yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
