8&3/4 lube fill amount Q

[Rapid Robert]

I jumped the gun & brakekleened the pumpkin well before I was ready to lift it up/in. it in now & my Q is can I fill the housing up & not have it leak out the housing end(s). I don't want the pumpkin to rust. I dont have the axles yet but the end seals are in place. thank you for your time .RR

You might. Why fill it. Throw a quart in for now. When you spin it occasionally you will lubricate it.

 

[Rapid Robert]

if a quart will do it I can do that

Tag or label it "no oil" till you fill it.
Never know who, when, where it'll end up.
Trust me .

X2 I have a no oil tag on a 833 sitting in my garage.

If the axle seals are in, acting like dams, yes.
But like said above.

I drilled a 1/2' access hole in the rear at the top of the curvature (IMCA rules) & added a slight bit. the nose got tilted down as I was manuevering things so I'm sure the nose area at the front of the pinion got lubed then with it bolted in I turned the gears backward/forward a few times to lube the gears so it should be good. thanks guys for the help/insight, RR
