I'd suggest using a general purpose 90 weight hypoid lube in both the trans and differential. Later model transmissions like the SM-420 need a straight mineral oil without hypoid additives to keep from grinding gears on a downshift. The N-series Ford tractor specification mineral oil transmission lube sold by Tractor Supply is a good one to use in the 420, and hypoid gear lube in the rear end. Jerry
