90 Wt gear oil, HP GL-5.

Not sure what you're talking about? The Commander's head bash pads on
the side and top of the hatches and turret?

Any parts stores have them.

Running Voltage is 24 as well. It may have some regulated bits but
it's mostly 24 volts.

They aren't all that bad. They're nicely layed out I think.

The Right side wheels are locked together. The left side wheels the
same. The differential is between the two sides. If one right side
tire is slightly or significantly different than the other right side
tire, they'll wind up the connection between the two. Bumps and such
tend to allow this to unwind. Bap a curb or so every so often on
either side if you can. The wheels are huge, so a small curb at 20
mph feels like a minuscule speed bump.
Do you know about the Ferret list(Ferret-heaven@yahoogroups.com) on
yahoogroups?
