Good afternoon everyone,

I was looking at my service manual and it recommends kerosene or some other type of inflammable solvent. Normally I’ve used diesel in the past for steering clutch’s etc but I wanted to see thoughts. Also my flywheel clutch housing when cleaning and draining (oil type) I have metal parts from when the pony motor died. Should I flush this compartment the book Dosent specify for the oil type.

Also I’ve included a pic of the dangers of running without a complete belly pan. ( note wasn’t me who removed just working on getting it fixed.) I honestly can’t believe it held oil!

Thanks 

You better flush the cluch housing with diesel and removed the streaner at bottom housing and you should never running with out the belly pan.

Not sure what you're asking. Flywheel clutch that runs in oil flush with diesel fuel. A dry clutch I would not want to use diesel. The oil clutch was run in engine oil by the book from 195x when it was new. Today there may be better oils, but I am not sure what it would be. Depending on how cold of weather you operate in I would not use anything heavier than 30 wt.The 30 wt will make the clutch hard to stop in temps under 40 degrees until it warms up even with a working clutch brake.

As to the title of thread I see no problem flushing the transmission with diesel.
