GL? Gay-Lussac? I don't suppose so, but it's all that springs to mind... Will it be written on the drum? If so, I'll go to the shed in the morning and make a note of it.

Regards

Pete

GL 1

OK, I now know that GL stands for Gear Lubricant.

From Morris Lubricants website:

"AG 90, 140, 250 AG Gear Oils are a range of mineral oil based lubricants, formulated without extreme pressure (EP) additives. These oils have good natural film strength, anti-foam performance and long term stability.

AG Gear Oils are suitable for use in equipment where the manufacturer specifies a non-EP lubricant. Applications include: manual gearboxes (e.g. Eaton/Fuller, Volvo), axles, worm gear drives (e.g. GKN), oil lubricated bearings, reduction gears/hubs, chains, steering boxes, king pins, etc. Additionally, AG Gear Oils are safe for use in transmissions that contain phosphor-bronze components. This makes them ideal for classic and vintage cars, motorcycles, tractors, traction engines and commercial vehicles.

API GL1"

"A.G. 90 Straight Mineral Gear Oil SAE 90"

Hope this helps.

Ahh! Friad its not of a high enough spec for farm use around here- most g/boxes specify at least a GL4 nowadays- would be ok for something like a steering box, or low speed, low torque, big geared 'box though i would have thought..

Cheers anyhow :)
