Well the unit has a 1/2 fitting threaded into a 3/4 inch fitting. I thought I could take it apart and just thread the 1/2...

I have searched nd searched for that tire and can't find it on any sites

I am in the process of purchasing a 1933 pickup. I have an instruction book for 4 cylinder cars and trucks. It says to use SAE250 in the summer for transmission and rear axel. All I can find advertised is synthetic. Any thoughts on this? I would rather ask a stupid question than do something stupid
