    Hoping some Canadian hot rodders can help me out. I’m trying to find GL4 140 gear oil for my three speed and banjo but I’m striking out every where I call. Has anyone in Alberta or across Canada found a dealer/distributor?
    Thanks
    Chris

    In 1954, ihc, international harvester company, produced a tractor with a planetary gearset to provide a shift on the go ability. The standard lube was 90w gear grease. The stinky dinasour stuff. The planetarys burnt out in short order. Ihc then ordered all tractors with the planetarys to use the new lube, TA fluid. It was very close to the type a automatic transmission fluid of the day. Everyone thought it would ruin the transmission gears and especially the ring and pinion. It worked perfectly, and it is still used by every tractor manufacturer to this day. I have been using it for years in my manual and automatic transmissions in my cars, tractors and pickups. Maybe ignorince is bliss.....
