axle repair for a trackmaster 4vl

Does anyone know where I can have the divided power lane on my 1959 trackmaster 4vl repaired or rebuilt? The axle seems to be working fine now but I understand from reading posts here in the forum that they tend to brake down a lot. What fluid is recommended for the axle for temperatures above 0? The manual says 80w-90w hypoid differential lubricant. All I can find is 80w-90 high pressure, detergent axle fluid made for truck rear ends.

any pics of your 4v? are you running the same double 90 degree axles, and power divider as the 4t series? if you know all the data, register it here on the history page, place it under the 4t category.

Here are some pictures I've taken so far. I'll get closer shots of the rear end when I get it out of storage. I'm heading for the snow soon. How do I register my cat on the history page?

follow the link. http://www.forumsforums.com/3_9/showthread.php?t=11663
you might need to cut and paste. if that doesnt work,,,,go to the main menu, the last category is "history", go there. inside youll find a thread that is for the thiokol 4t series. just throw it in there. include your data plate if you have it. manufacture date, serial number, engine info, your location, and any history you know for the cat.
