Thread: Steering Box Question?

Just a couple points then, first, the w behind the 600 originally meant "whale oil" (as an additive). Before it's use was banned whale oil was used in the presence of water (steam) as it would emulsify with the water and continue to lubricate. Using the word "weight" with lubricants drives people who know lubrication batty because there is no such reference in the world of tribology (as regards viscosity). It's one of those common usage things that has persisted, but is really meaningless. Not a shot at Pops, just reference.

Almost any of the Model A parts vendors will have repackaged 600w as hard core Model A restorer guys tend to resist change.
