    Transaxle lubricants
    I have a ford yt16 Lawn tractor. I have repaired the transaxle but I'm not sure what to use as a lubricant. Some say grease and others say 120W gear oil. What should I use ?
    Thank you.:confused:

    Hi,
    Both are correct depending on the make and model of transaxle. It is either Peerless or Spicer, probably. On Peerless there is tag near the brake, on Spicer a family number is often cast into the housing.
    Peace,
    Clarke
    PS Someone else made the machine for Ford.
