>>>by dipping your pinking into
the filler hole
Top Five Questions for Irv Korey
1) Irv, do you have a layman's term for that?
2) Freudian slip about your timing settings?
3) Irv, you haven't lost your touch have you?...you rascal!
4) Irv does that require my 5/16 inch pinking or my 3/8 inch pinking?
5) If SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) hears about this you're in deep #*@!.
(OK that wasn't a question)
Anyone else inspired on a Friday evening? I'm not touching the next 14 words
after the above.

And additionally, the Sta Lube gallon jugs are embossed at 1 quart
intervals, so that you can pump and measure the proper amount of gear goo
into the box, and then double check the level by dipping your pinking into
the filler hole, rather than pumping the box full and then allowing the
overage to drain out. Sta Lube is also GL4, kinder to the yellow metals in
the TR gearbox.
