Where to get straight 90 gear oil?

What application is using straight 90 GL1 these days? Are you trying to avoid bronze/brass degradation?
Motul makes 90PA which is a straight-90 gear oil for LSDs. It's GL-5.
GL-1 and 90w, nobody selling quarts of something like that any more 5 gallons is going to be it.

You might as well try to find a 20W50 engine oil. It would offer more protection than a straight GL1 gear oil.

NAPA still sells GL1 SAE 90 gear oil in gallon jugs. Tractor supply stores should also carry SAE 90 gear oil. The old Borg Warner 3 speed overdrive transmissions specify the use of a non EP oil along with many farm implements. I use a good SAE 40 engine oil in the old transmissions when I don't have the SAE 90 on the shelf.
I'd look for an industrial user and offer a contribution to their coffee fund for a quart or two of their ISO 220 viscosity gear oil. This is often used in gear boxes with bronze worm gears and other industrial usages.
This one might meet your needs. I don't think you'll find a gallon. But maybe you could share a 5 gallon pail with your Yugo friends.

For the record, just look for Ford tractor oil.

Some farm supply stores sell SAE90 GL-1 by the gallon.
