85 MF 290 with the NoSpin front diff lock axle.What oil for front axle and hubs please?
Some oil finder searches are saying 10w30 SUTO for both and others say 75w90 or 80w90 gear oil.
Haven't looked closely at it yet but are the hub drain/fill plugs on the rear of the final drive housings?
Thanks.

You can use SUTO in the front axle but if the seals are weeping it will pour out. I would use 80W90 in there but none of the components are fussy.
The fill/drain plugs should be obvious. If not on the outside they will be on inside of the wheel relative to the hub.

Thanks Cb.No plugs on the outside...must be on the back.
