Hello Rick,
I would go with no. 2. Most dirt and particulates in there will drain out
now and then a short run-in of a few hundred miles will further flush it
out.
In fact, I've just had an even better idea. Drain, change, drive the few
hundred miles to my SW Missouri location, turn over keys and title and I'll
take it from there. Would you prefer a bus or plane ticket home? ;-)
Seriously, thanks again for posting your progress. You've done a terrific
job and it's been a real inspiration.
Cheers,
David

Subject: [Mgs] Gearbox oil
Hello Friends,
I write this morning requesting advice.
I'm not far from starting the TD for the first time. My concern is for the
gearbox oil. Should I,
1. Change the oil now and call it 'good'?
2. Change the oil now then change again after running a bit?
3. Leave the old, clean-looking oil in place, for now?
4. Idle the box in neutral until warm, using the old oil to 'clean' the
insides, then change?
5. Some other plan?
I'm a gearbox novice. Advice appreciated.B
