airspeed Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Saw this over at the county hazardous drop area. They have a free shelf of useable chemicals and liquids. If somebody is interested I can pick these up and hold them. I’m not sure how good the lubricant is but maybe a collector/conversation piece? The date code is 1974.

500 MJ Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 That's pretty sweet! I'd put those on a shelf in my garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 It's probably as good as it ever was. Somebody with a Quadrajunk will want it. Actually, if I was stateside I'd be sending you money for it already. Since I do have one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airspeed Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm not sure what this stuff is, ATF or gear lube? It seems really thin when you shake the bottle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 It's a special fluid for the Quadra-Trac system, not an exact copy of anything used commonly anymore. If I were to guess it's probably a thin oil with friction modifiers like in limited slip diff lube if my understanding of how Quadra-Trac works is correct.

HOrnbrod Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 From the Jeep Forum: I have a CJ7 with Quadra-Trac and I'm changing the oil for the transfer case this week, ordered the oil from 4wd.com. Since I work at an oil analysis laboratory i decided to run some tests of it to check the formulation, viscosity, etc. to see if there's a similar oil out there (we have a large database).This is just in case anyone is interested:Quadra-Trac OIL:Viscosity (cSt - centistokes): 40C: 117.3 100C: 12.58 Lub Density: 0.88Viscosity Index: 99Elements (PPM - parts per million): fe: 1 ag: 0 al: 1 ca: 3332 cr: 0 cu: 1 mg: 16 na: 13 ni: 0 pb: 1 si: 8 sn: 0 ti: 0 b: 73 ba: 0 p: 1403 mn: 0 mo: 3 v: 1 zn: 1367 k: 1 There are a few oils that are almost identical in specs, the ones I found were: Shell Rimula 15W30 (multigrade) Pennzoil Long Life HD 15W40 (multigrade) Shell Rimula X-30 Shell Rimula X-40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 It's a special fluid for the Quadra-Trac system, not an exact copy of anything used commonly anymore. If I were to guess it's probably a thin oil with friction modifiers like in limited slip diff lube if my understanding of how Quadra-Trac works is correct. In the FSM there is instructions on how to make it from straight 30W and limited slip additive, they were aware that even at that time that the oil would be hard to source. That is the common method of dealing with it now. I'm not sure if it is recommended to try the 'identical' spec oils that are listed in the post Hornbrod quoted. I haven't changed the oil on mine and haven't decided what I'm going to do about the truck as a whole anyways. The whole truck is pretty terrible and has been abused by hillbillys for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Grab it! Somebody will want it, some day. The price is certainly right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airspeed Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 The guy that works over there is always talking about my Comanche. He said he will hold them for me, I will pick them up next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Yay! Good job. I think that same juice works in the full-time NP249 transfer case in the ZJ Grand Cherokee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airspeed Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 I picked up those 6 quarts and have them packed and ready for shipment. They are factory sealed, cleaned up and look brand new. If somebody wants to pay the shipping I will drop them off at the Post Office. The package is 13.4 lbs shipping from 80514. I have a photo but photo bucket is not working tonight. Send me a PM if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
