It should feed the center carrier U-joint also and stopped by a seal from draining into the differential. I just renwewed all the cork gaskets in the bell couplers but I don't have a clue how much oil goes in.....thanks guys. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | Trans. oil is usually meant to be filled to the point where it runs out the hole when filled, that's how one knows when to stop.

It is enclosed when put together and connects the splined mid shaft to the mid carrier u-joint which is also enclosed. I'm talking about the entire mid assembly of a torque tube. There has to be the same setup in later trucks till about '39. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 402 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 402 | If your talking about the extra shaft behind the trans and before the torque tube in the 1936 1.5 ton trucks, what do they call that the mid-shaft? I tried to look that up in the on line books here and couldn't find the amount of oil or what kind of oil to use either. anybody know? I read they use to fill it with that zerk fitting on top of the rear of the trans and the used pour oil at the factory. i am sure somebody here knows what to use and how much should be put in. Because i need to know too.
