Alligator front drive problems

[Stewart Loy]

It just so happens that I have found a company in Cartersville, Georgia that still uses the T-16 controlled differential in the off road machines that they make. Soft Trac Supply Inc.

I have asked them for the most current lubrication recommendations to make these units work as well as they can.

TM 9-746 War Department Technical manual for the Universal Carrier T16 ( 11Aug43 ) recommends 9 quarts ( with cooler ) of SAE 90 above +32 degrees F., and SAE 80 from 0 to 32, below that it recommends OFSB 6-11 ( that I do not have ).

I will let you know when I hear back from the folks down South.
