Bert.... add.
SCH630 is available in quarts at around $6.00@. Not cheap but inmline with
most synthetic gear oils.
Make a dipstick for the tranny- I use dowel with red line (should be green?)
between 2 & 2 1/2 inches. That is the safe zone. If (as..) the front seal?
leaks- it will stablize at 2 in, unless you park downhill- which you just do
not do in a trike.
If you can't find it I'll pick some up for you & ship it if you like..
Again- DON'T use ordinary 140 gear oil as it has the HP additive.
PMO (pure mineral oil) with a couple tablespoons of lard is also a
recomendation, but I think it wise to take advantage of modern technology now
& then- esp as far as oils go.
Also check now & then for the "dreaded worm-wheel syndrome". Flashlight or
magnet & check for broken bolts/nut heads in bottom of worm housing. I found
five in my transmission- I guess that some just replaced bolts without
removing the scraps?
