why do the books say to use 20/50w motor oil in the trans ?
I'm tempted to change over 'cause it seems to make good sense to give the
gears a heavier oil ..... doesn't it ?
Does anyone have a good argument to the contrary ?
Nice tool invention Crash !
Please put me on the waiting list for purchase ;-)

shipping, as soon as the tooling is done. This special tool consists of a
2" piece of high tech 5\8" rubber hose "heater or garden". All you need to
to do is loosen the drain plug with socket wrench and place the special
tool on the plug and remove by hand, to replace the drain plug you just
place the special tool "Pat Pend" and drain plug on the transmision and
hand tighten, remove the tool and snug-up the plug with the socket wrench.

my 5/8" sears garden hose got run over by my bug-i). However shipping will
be delayed about 6 months, because I am waiting for the paper "Made in
England" stickers to arrive from England.
