I recently picked up an old tree farmer with a similiar story I'm going through and doing the same stuff. My neighbor is an "old timer" he told me that anything that takes gear oil drain it put some diesel back in it and if it's the differentials run it a couple hundred feet, the winch run it in and out a few times. He said it helps to clean all the crap off stuff and it will function as a lubricant for a few minutes to help clean it, then drain it and fill with 90w. Mine is a 353 detroit and a new process transmission as well. I'm the furthest thing in the world from a mechanic but I'm figuring stuff out. Make sure you have you kill switch (not ignition) working in case it runs away, I took some tie wire around the flap next to the intake and ran it through a small hole in the dash with a loop in case I need to use it.

Can't help it Rick, I do love to focus on the hole!

Love the videos, Rick. I think all of us that work with our hands feel life is stacked against us. I like how you show how nearly everyday has a spot fire that needs to get put out! I’ve watched all of your videos and can feel how much the Murrays meant to you. It would be nice to hear the backstory if you were comfortable talking about it. Best wishes for a better, season, my friend. Keep up the fight!

Rick I'm surprised you're not doing a New Year's Eve live

Rick. Wishing you, and yours a Happy New Year. I'm at home for amateur night.

Got love those big ol woods donkeys

I would think that into the earl fall would be the best time to do it so you are already for winter.

Well shit, I made it buddy!; Already next year at your place, we've got another hour and a half to go.. kick 2020 to the curb!!! Happy New year!!!!

I'm working on making Katie's cheesecake right now

Fill level plug is half way down on drivers side of transfer case

Hi Rick how much oil did you put in your transfer case?Well the beer seems to be pretty good 👍

haha gotta have that drink in the middle of that gear oil fillup haha

Started to watch and got interrupted. Oh well .😊👍👍👍happy ne year everyone 2021

Afterthought. I left my imported beer from Chippewa Falls outside too long. There's a 15 minute delay for the slush to thaw.

Rick, I googled the transfer case oil level plug and it said it's under the PTO on the left side. I don't how accurate this info is.

Are you going to make it until the new year 🥃🍺👍

BURNOUT WITH THE TIMBERJACK!!

Could be like me and leave Bolts out on the rear end and have water get into the transmission that way

How are ya now?
