I am working on a skid loader for a client. It is a Raider, made in MN. I can't seem to find out any information about it online. Does anyone have an idea as to what weight oil to use in the chain case?
The oil does not run any of the hydraulics. My concern is that I want to make sure the axle bearings have enough lubrication. I am also concerned about the axle oil seals leaking. The loader does not have or use grease in the axle tubes. Thanks for the help.

More then likely the axle bearings are packed with grease. The seals keep the grease in. The chain case oil has a level plug or something. The chain case probably sits below the axles. I would use 15w40 or a good hydraulic oil for the chain case.
 
I do not have a manual on them anymore, but I think it was a straight 30 weight oil. 80 90 is too thick to enter the roller chain in cold weather.
 

Thanks for the help. There is no grease in the axle housings as there is no grease zerk or seal to even keep grease in. There is only an oil seal on the outside of the axle.
