hey folks, my 1977 B-80 has alittle gear oil leaking at the brake where it comes out of the rear. i havent looked into this yet but what am i looking foward to as far as repairing this and what are you guys using in the wheel horse rears, is there something i can get at Napa or can i use 80/90w?

Although it calls for 90/140, you can use 80/90W without doing any harm. The oil is probably leaking at the brake shaft seal. If you have a 1977, it is still available as Toro part number 100441 and the generic number available at NAPA is C/R 7410.
