Massey Ferguson 227 gear box
Original Message   Jan 7, 2011 2:59 pm
I was given a Massey Ferguson 227 snow thrower that was a non runner. After doing the carb,starter etc.it is now in good running order. I removed the plug to check the gear box level and found it dry. Does anyone happen to know what type of grease/oil would  it use? It would  appear to be around a 1970-1972 era.

It shows how much I don't know about his tractors :-) borat wrote:

Most of those older units probably used hypoid gear oil.  Not sure what viscosity would be required.  I'm sure there some old timers here who can help.
