Can anyone suggest an oil to go back in the front drive system in my carrier. The stearing is done by means of brake bands which are inclosed in the the front axle assembly. I am not sure if the bren gun carrier's are steered in the same way. but it does mean the bands are submerged in oil.
Any help greatfully recieved.
Thanks

Bryan,
This morning I recieved a very pleasant call from a fellow near Toronto, Ontario, Canada who works at Techmotive. He tells me that they supply parts for controlled differential units and he has stock for T-16, M-24 and bigger units. He mentioned housings, gear and brake bands, but did not say much about shafts.
He recommends that these units be filled with automatic transmission fluid DEXRON3 or Type F.
Now we know.
The helpful fellow is Tony, at Tecmotive in Concord, Ontario. His contact information is (905) 669-5911 extension 233.
I hope this helps you, I know it has helped me. When I install my repaired oil cooler for the system I shall flush and fill the system with ATF.
If this and a good track tightening does not fix me up, perhaps I shall treat myself to a near set of brake pads ( that Tony has in stock ).
