I find these maintenance videos very therapeutic to watch somehow - I think it's at least partly due to the confident nature of your knowledge and delivery. Happy New Year to you all and I hope the new year brings you many joys and successes! I hope the homestead is progressing well for you? :)
Simon B Happy New Year!!! I'm so glad you like these vids. He did a whole bunch in the fall to "carry us" through the winter! 😁 The good news is we have recently started progressing very quickly towards moving to the farm! We are working in those videos now...stay tuned!!
@@NaturesCadenceFarm well I ended up with regular 80w90 because mine is a possi rear so both tires are locked together all the time. So I guess that was the wrong oil for mine. I went with masterpro gl-5 sae 80w90 gear oil. Thanks for the reply!
@@ksajak Either one would be fine. I owned a Classic 1984 Porsche 911 turbo you would be shocked at the range of oils we all used. All had great results. Oils have come a long way
Ray Redding I have not had to search for one so I have no idea. I was thinking maybe try a plug from a 1987 dodge 1/2 ton truck rear end or a 1997 grand cherokee rear end. Try a search for p/n 52070428AA . It looks very close to the correct size. Hope this helps. ~ Mr. C.
My fluid level plug never drained any after one quart. I seen the vent tube on the right side of the axle so I left it in. Been riding for a few hours in the mud I'm sure it's level now .
@Ike Yeet I agree, that is sound advice. Lets say that does happen. What would I do? If you already have the drain plug out then I would tilt the quad on its side drain hole up and inject the prescribed amount (1/4 Qt) through the drain hole. The fill level plug could be removed to double check the level. Add more if needed. I have had good luck with those auto parts store suction guns for differentials. You might need to adapt to a smaller hose but that is fairly simple. I am not picking on you, just offering an alternative to the hypothetical stuck fill plug for the newbies. Thank you for broaching the topic. This dialog is what make TH-cam so much fun! ~Mr. C. Suction Gun: amzn.to/3Aso5qt Vacuum Hose Adapters: amzn.to/3Ko9aCp

I love the service vids there very very very amusing to me lol keep up these vids please
Always great videos...
I got Castro 80w90 for atv's, motorcycles and whatnot. That should be good for it correct? Thanks
@K Sajak yes that should be fine. The hypoid oil has extreme pressure additives for the sliding surfaces. Great question! ~Mr. C.

So you just put the oil in there until it starts coming out ?
TheBlockA yes until it starts coming out of the fill check plug. ~Mr. C.
Where can I get a cap from for the final gear fluid

is it bad if i over filled it
cram god I can only see it being bad if it leaks excessively form somewhere. I would love to know if you find any adverse effects. ~Mr. C.
I over filled mine and it just spit out of my vent line for the rear end

First step is actually loosen your fill plug, if that don’t move your screwed if you drain your fluid.
