I just bought a 1996 1845C and i am going over it before i start using it.The left rear axle will move in and out about a 1/4" the other three feel good with just a little movement when you push and pull on the axle.I tried to add a washer and tighten the nut on the back side of the sprocket after pulling the cotter key.This did not help.How do i take up the slack?I had heavy moisture filled milky grease in the L&R chain cases i washed them out with a pressure washer and some of the water remains in the bottom of cases so i was thinking of putting a gallon of diesel fuel in each case run it a couple of minutes drain it and put reccomended 10w 30 oil in the cases.Would this diesel fuel hurt anything or would you go ahead and put oil in and forget fuel?
