McCormick Front Axle Lube

What would you use for a JD equivalent for 4WD front axle lube on a little McCormick. The Korean manual is a little lacking on specifications.

In the greased bearings or the actual gearing???

In the greased bearings JD uses polyuria grease. In the gear trail it is 85-90 gear oil. This is in the compact models.

In the larger MFWD tractors JD service bulletins recommend Hy-guard in the out board planetary and gear oil in the center section.

this is an LS right?
80w 90 is what is original
I know of at least one dealer replacing with hy tran. its all one compartment but you have to pull the vent plugs to be sure that each spindle fills up to the level plugs. been a while since I done one of the little ones but there should be 3 drain plugs, 2 vent plugs, a level/fill plug in the pot and I think a level plug on each spindle.

Yes, main compartment and LS.

Manual calls out 90W, but no other information,
