SpillerMiller 10 #1 Posted July 29, 2014 I need to know what type to put in my tractor please. My best guess puts it in the mid 750's for age. Also, where is the fill point? Thank you very much for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,595 #3 Posted July 29, 2014 assuming its a hydro transmission, then either 10W40 motor oil or automatic transmission fluid. If you are just topping up, check which it is. If you are replacing the filter then flush out and use motor oil. Fill point is under the rear fender, should either be a fill tube or bung in the top of the transmission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpillerMiller 10 #4 Posted July 29, 2014 Thank you very much. Any idea on the quantity? Also, is the filter easy to find or am I going to have to spend a fortune on a special style? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,595 #5 Posted July 29, 2014 No idea off the top of my head. There's probably a manual in the manuals section which will have the oil quantity. I'm sure someone will probably pipe in with filter number, you do need the right one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpillerMiller 10 #6 Posted July 29, 2014 I know I need a specific one. Im just curious if the local guy would have it or if im going to have to order one off some vintage site. Also, this site wont let me into the manuals section for some reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desko 610 #9 Posted July 29, 2014 If its a sunstrand it takes a Napa 1410 hydraulic filter and should take 4-6 quarts of oil depending Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,905 #11 Posted July 29, 2014 If the existing oil is red it is ATF (Dexron) if it is tan it is motor oil 10w-30 or 10w40. Flushing is more involved that draining and refilling. (They do not mix well) I would stick with what ever is in there now. i run Dexron in some of my older machines and it seems to work just as well as the motor oil in the newer ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpillerMiller 10 #12 Posted July 29, 2014 I have no idea what's currently in it. Its definitely motor oil. I bought it last fall and I doubt its had regular scheduled maintenance. So I know its time for some fresh fluid and filter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hodge71 664 #14 Posted July 30, 2014 With it being a mid 70s I would say it has to be motor oil. Tranny fluid was phased out by the end of 1973. 10w-30 oil is fine. My Dads has been changed to 10w-40 because it never gets driven in the winter and has close to 5000 hours on it..maybe a touch more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
