I recently aquired a set of pumpkins w/5.83 gears.They were rebuilt by a Canadian Army Motor Pool in 1975 according to the tag riveted to the top of the casting.The tag carries all the specs that were recorded during the rebuild.Backlash,preload,etc.All gear teeth as well as pinion and carrier bearings were coated with enough cosmoline to last another 27yrs.Does this need to be removed or can it stay on untill i refill the housing with gear oil(90-140wt.) and then let it wear off while driving?
