Hello, in the following period I will be more the "asking guy" but I would like to make a small contribution to the knowledge of this forum.

Here is original tak from my 1939 lincoln Zephyr for Columbia overdrive differential.

Should give many answers to some.

Enjoy.

Thanks for posting. Original Columbia literature is rare.

Interesting that these instructions don't have you running for five minutes per below. Maybe that's only for the original fill or Columbia placed the fill plug too low.

"LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS – IMPORTANT
With rear wheels off of floor fill rear axle through filler hole in Two-Speed Axle housing with 4½ Pints of standard Ford rear axle lubricant. (DO NOT USE CUP GREASE ) Start motor, shift transmission into high, and Two-Speed Axle control valve in high, depress clutch pedal to floor board, which completes shift in rear axle. Allow clutch pedal to return and run five minutes in this position. This is for the purpose of circulating oil through the entire Two-Speed Axle Unit. Next remove jack and with wheels on floor, BE SURE to refill axle to new oil level plug."
