So today I decided to service the rear end on the 1200. I drained the fluid and cleaned out the innerds. My mityvac brake bleeder worked real well to suck up all the remaining fluid that didn’t seem to want to drain out. After everything was cleaned up and threaded holes chased out I used red lock tite to install 5 studs that I made out of 3/8” hot dipped galvanized carriage bolts. I replaced one of the
axle tube outer bearing (part # 941-0363) and
seal (part # 921-0187) and installed a new
cover gasket (part # 350837-R3). Then I went out and picked up a 5 gallon bucket of
hytran equivalent (meets or exceeds International B-6 Specification) from Napa to fill the gear box;

Gave the 1450 the same treatment, replaced the
hydro filter (Stens part # 120-265), and sent the hydro relief valves out to be rebuilt;
