Re: Lubing the T-L gears?

Pat, if the history of your TL reduction gear box is unknown, best practice would be to remove it, clean and inspect, and repack with a suitable grease. But if you haven't been paying attention to it to this point, you might first try replacing the plug on the underside with an Alemite fitting and filling the internal space with a suitable grease until it comes out of the vent at the top. If you are willing to leave a grease gun dedicated to that lubricant, just leave the Alemite fitting in place. If after giving it some grease it doesn't quiet down, then consider removing it.
