THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

The guy I bought it from picked it up from the gentleman in Mexico after he decided he was getting to old to climb in...

Thank you sir. I went ahead and flushed all the hubs and re-filled with the GL-5 80W-90 I had on hand.

I will probably go with that MT90 for the transmission too. Do you use it in the transfer case as well or just the transmission?

Has anyone converted to silicone brake fluid in any of the hydraulic systems in their Pinzgauer? If so did you experience any compatibility issues with the elastomers in any of the systems or difficulty flushing all the conventional fluid out? I am installing a new brake master cylinder soon and I a...
