1982 420AXC transmission fluid

Hello All,
I need to know how much transmission fluid to use in my 1982 420AXC.
Thanks for your help.

Did a quick search and found that the correct amount is 1200cc. Love the site! Long live old Husky's!

Isn't there a little plug on the side somewhere that you remove and fill until the level is that high with the bike perfectly vertical? The later 500 and 430 liquid cooled hold less as I recall.

sharp bike! what are you using for fluid?

The level screw is below the kick start stop

Another Candidate for the auto forum . lol

we tip 1000 cc in ours . based on what the sweed told us . 1000 cc of oil can cool down 20% faster than 1200 cc can given the same cooling area .
yes it also heats up faster but this is almost a bonus

also most oil comes in a 1 litre bottle haha

our has been run on and is running AGIP 7.5 wt fork(suspension) oil

basically you want the non slipperiest oil you can get that will wet the parts .so no modifiers is best .

My next question was going to be what is the recommended oil to use in the auto.

Your 420AXC looks very nice and looks to be mostly original. Looks like someone has changed the 35mm forks out and installed the 40mm's. The back tire looks original, does it have the Husky gun sight logo on the knobs? Do you know the history of this 420?

Yes the bike is a very low hour original. I am not an expert in the Husky's but I didn't realize that the 82's still had the 35mm forks? I thought they were all up to 40's by then? This is a one owner bike that was hardly ridden before being put away for most of its life. I have the statement of origin and bill of sale from the purchase back in 83'

Yes I just looked up the specs and it came with 35mm forks originally. I'm glad the previous owner upgraded!

Change out rear tire save it worth big $ Save front also.
You don't know what you have it's worth BIG$
Keep it out of the mud. In fact get it running blast it down a nice straight so can see haw it works then paint the pipe and clean it then put it away.
It belongs in a glass show case.
Look for another one to ride.

Thanks George! I appreciate the info! I've already got different tires on it too. I fire it up once and a while just to listen to it. Maybe rip it around the back yard now and then but that's it.

wow, never seen those tires before. crazy!!

You have also the univis hvi 26.
