I recently picked up a New Holland 256 Rollabar rake. It works, but needs a little preventative maintenance on the driveline.
An old manual I downloaded says the gearbox uses 140wt gear oil. However, on the NH parts website, the page says the gearbox should be packed with grease. Mine is slightly overfilled with oil, which I can tell because it leaks out of the shift lever hole. So which should it be? Grease or oil? The label on the gearbox is no help, because it refers me to the manual...
All the universal joints are sloppy, the short drive shaft slip joint is very sloppy, and the tires (were Firestones OEM?) are shot. Any suggestions for part sources, other than NH?
Thanks!
