GL 4 and 5 have different qualities. 

I believe you're ok either way with a Horse transmission because there's no brass/other yellow metals.

80-90w is what I run in my gear jammers.

You'll be fine using that oil. 

 

Half the tranny's I see have muddy water as lube. Be sure to put on a new shifter boot.

There is a brass bushing on the reverse gear

right lower gear.

 

The GL5 is much softer on copper then GL5 was when it just came out

I've only had transmissions apart that were between the years of 1965 or 6 up to somewhere around 77. None of those had any non-steel metal that I was aware of.  Is this something that started later or is that some sort of coated alloy that appears silver?

Not a big deal one way or the other I guess. I'm just curious.

  Bushing shows up in 8 speeds, 4 speeds and the 5053 trannies  basically all modern (not 3 piece units).  Now on the other hand the cheap GL5 I use from Wally world says it protects against corrosion of copper or bronze bushings

Like @pfrederi 's imago shows, number 43 is a bronze bushing.

The picture of my tranny is that from my 1974 Wheel Horse raider10. If I am not mistaking. 

 

Didn't notice it at first either. But that's all their is of
