The funny thing is that originally both the Lister LM and LH150 boxes used engine oil according to my ancient manual. As there are only strait cut spur type gears in the boxes it was ok. A little later they changed the spec to Hypoy gear oil I suppose mainly to improve hydraulic pressure (but that is adjustable anyway) as its thicker of course. And of course the reduction gear always used Hypoy oil because of hellical gears.
Just found a manual for the box and is stated 20/50 or 50 engine oil ( same as the engine

I spent a long but most comfortable and lovely intimate night with my girl friend who thought I was clever and infallable ''silly girl thinkin that'' until next day when the pubs opened.
The point is where I'm located now

Welcome to the forum. I'm not completly familiar your setup be I think what you are looking at is a dog shaft which connects the engine to the gearbox. If you can get to the flywheel bolts I would just undo them and remove the flywheel. This link might help, lots of info there.

I've just noticed you are from Canvey. I was born on there in 1949 at 42 May Avenue, I expect it's now a giant housing estate.
