peugeot 176TC4 ex-militaire

I just purchased a 176 TC4 also.  It is a 1955 military.  I do not have a choke lever either.  I might use a bicycle cable to mount a choke lever.
2 of my biggest questions at this time are:
How much oil should I put in the left side of the engine?
What is the tire size?

I hope to take this motorcycle out on the back roads on sunny days and enjoy it!
Do you know how much oil to put in the left side of the engine case?  I have not been able to find the amount.  I am planning to use SAE 30.

Hello Kelloggkid

thank you

hi kelloggkid !

i'll try to write in english i hope you'll be indulgent !!

i've seen in several documents that you have to fill by the upper plug and there is a little level plug lower.

you have to fill up to this little plug. under you have the drain plug. (i join you a picture to explain !)

the amount is around 1.35 liter ! and 30SAE is good , you'll have to do a periodic drain every 6000km.




I have a question for you :

How did you find this old military french bike in your country ? do you import it ? or is it in your country for a long time ? do you know his history ?

she looks good !

i hope it will help you !!


bye and welcome !!

I first tried to fill to the little side plug however it only accepted about .25 liter before it started to run out the side hole. The engine had NO oil in it previously. I think 1.35 liter sounds like a more acceptable amount.

The motorcycle was in a private collection that was sold. I did not know the owner and the seller did not know any history. I do not think there are very many of them in the US.

hi !

maybe you have to much dry oil residue. in my gas tank i have 2 cm of old oil residue very very hard !!
you should open your gear box pan to control it ! it's a big gap between 0.25 and 1.35 liter ! !

je suis pas prêt de te renseigner si tu écris en anglais

peut-être avez-vous trop de résidus d'huile sèche. dans mon réservoir d'huile j'ai 2 cm de vieux résidus d'huile très très durs !!
vous devriez ouvrir votre carter de boîte de vitesses pour le contrôler ! c'est un gros écart entre 0,25 et 1,35 litre ! !

messieurs

notre ami KELLOGGKID nous écrit depuis le nouveau monde ! soyez indulgents je trouve ça déjà chouette que ce forum soit consulté à travers le monde !!

imaginez comme il va être difficile pour lui de trouver des pièces ... surtout les spécifiques au modèle militaire !! déjà que c'est dur pour nous !!!

Welcome kelloggkid !!

je passe mon tour

Bonjour,

j'arrive sans doute sur le tard mais je viens de remplir ma boite de vitesse de ma 176 TC4 militaire que je viens de finir de remonter et je n'ai pu mettre que 350 mL (0,350 L) d'huile de boite, on est loin des 1,35 L mentionnés plus haut... La notice d'entretien me rassure en indiquant 350 mL...

en tous cas j'espère avoir fait ce qu'il faut...

Bonne journée !

Hi,

may be I'm late but I've just fill my gear box I've just rebuilt, it contains 0.350 Liters... It match with the notice...

Have a nice day !
