    Guess I’m not out much trying the oil…… if it leaks out, then grease it is!
    The L.U. has all new needle bearings, new prop seal, and I shortened
    the drive shaft bushing 1/8" so I could install a seal there as well.
    And thanks to your advice before Jeff, I installed a new o-ring on the
    shift rod, as well as put a new piece of tubing on the shift rod guide tube.
    I hope the thing shifts when it’s running, as it seems impossible while not…..
    but I didn’t try too hard so as not to break!
    Regarding the Lubriplate 105 grease….. mine is in a tube……. insert
    and squeeze….. I guess.

    Prepare to be boarded!
