When you say the later TR trunnions, what years of TR6 require this
method of lubrication? If 1974 uses it, then I'd be interested in one.
My zip is 95814. Where do you find the 10 oz. tubes of gear oil?

In the past there have been several "hints" on how and what to use on
the
later TR Trunnions. One suggestion was to use an pressure oil can
(Harbor
Freight) and another was on the VTR web site and a posting under
www.vtr.org/maintain/trunnion-oil.shtml I have been looking for the
Mercury
Marine unit described in the VTR post and finally found and purchased
four of
them which was the min. order they would supply. So, I have three
available
at cost ($20.00 plus shipping from 48336). Very neat unit and uses any
of the
various 10oz or so tubes of 80/90 wt gear oil with the 3/8" (+/-)
threads
below the nozzle. These tubes run from 5 to 8 $$. If you would like
one of
these pumps to assist in correctly lubricating the trunnions through the
Zerk
fittings, let me know. Shipping should be $8.00 or less depending on
your
location.
