I've never bought a Mercury. Last I checked, they had laws here against releasing Mercury into the environment.
 My brother has one and my mother had a couple. I just never saw the point since they were not much different mechanically and usually uglier in appearance. IMO

That's where my being an industrial mechanic comes in handy. Usually, I just borrow some.

Either use a cobbled outdoor extension cord or some 3 conductor SJ cord.

A few of my cars use those. I just use a cheap pair of pliers with a groove dremeled in.

Another thing to be careful of when using this method is that it can lead to a severe case of "hockey-mouth".

I'm using 85W-140 in my 48's gearbox and 80W-90 in the rear axle. 30W gear oil is used in vacuum pumps and industrial applications. I wouldn't recommend it for the axle.

I've been using DOT 4 in all my vehicles with good results. I also flush it when it gets dirty with a power bleeder.

Managed to sell the rusty 73 Buick. Once that's gone, it'll be easier moving things around here again. Next I'll try to unload the Thunderslug.
