70-80 weight oil is fine for the gear case, as mentioned the taller bearing goes at the top, if your kit has two of the taller bearings use them.
If possible use two top seals even if your machine only had one originally, two oil seals will make the bearing last TWICE as long, when WP started using two top seals around 1975 bearing failures became almost unheard of, before with a single top seal it was common for the washers main bearings to be shot in 8-12 years. |
