Lubricating a Series

[Flyingpony]

Trying to get my old girl on the road again, previous owner(s) neglected lubricating her ...

What type of lubrication grease/oil should I put where and how much?
How-to tips would be really handy too!
What would be their maintenance frequency?

Engine is sorted but it's the rest I've no prior experience with.

• front & rear axle
• front axle steering ball joints
• manual FWH
• gearbox
• transfer case
• prop shaft
• steering linkages
• steering box
• is there more?

Thanks.

How-to tips would be really handy too! dont do it on your driveway and have lots of rags handy
What would be their maintenance frequency?

Engine is sorted but it's the rest I've no prior experience with.

• front & rear axle SAE90 gear oil
• front axle steering ball joints ball joints use a grease gun or if you mean the swivel housings I think they take SAE90 gear oil (been over 20 years since I had a landy?)
• manual FWH Grease
• gearbox SAE90 gear oil
• transfer case SAE90 gear oil
• prop shaft grease gun
• steering linkages ball joints? grease gun
• steering box probably SAE90 gear oil..... dunno?
• is there more? there is if you can find anything else

Thanks.

(Yes, anything less than a 90 oil will leak out the seals once warmed, if you've got leaky seals, I think it was in a series 3 I used to be able to undo the seal and rotate 90 degrees and retighten a less-worn part of the seal lowermost)

Umm, is that a PTO on the back?? Never seen a factory one (or any other) on the back like that. Isn't that where that hole in the back bumper is used for?

They put a pto drive that could be run to the rear of the wagon, was aimed at the farmers who would use it instead of a tractor for driving farm machinery etc

Should have put more horse power at the end of it for that.
