'56 FLH Tranny service
I'm going through a '56 FLH that I bought from the original owner. It has been sittting 4yrs since it's last ride( his 80th B'Day). I don't know when the last time the gear lube was changed - he died before I could get all the questions asked. I'm going to flush the oil tank and fuel tanks with kerosene. Would it be OK to do the same with the tranny?

Absolutely.
A turkey baster helps, if you can "pulse" it enough.

Re: '56 FLH Tranny service
Sure, Just remember to use motor oil in the tranny and NOT hypoid gear oil!
