Watch Your Back Axle Lubricant

When verifying the level of- the lubricant m the back axle.it is . not sufficient merely to remove the plug and. glance casually through the orifice. TN cold weather particularly a small amount of grease often becomes wedg-ed, as it were, m the filler neck, and gives 1 one the impression that the casing- is full. A round stick slightly smaller than the diameter of the orifice should be thrust into the casing 1 , so that if the above condition exists the grease will be forced into the casing, and a better idea obtained of the actual amount of lubricant In circulation.
