pfrederi 17,895 #3 Posted March 1, 2017 I assume there was ATF in there previously...That would most likely make this a Sundstrand. with a hydro lift it needs 5 qts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,895 #8 Posted March 2, 2017 First off most D series used 10w-30 oil for the transmission are you sure ATF was what was in it??? ATF and motor oil do not mix well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what was in it I was told by a friend he thought tag the pump works feels like diff locks up after moving forward and reverse for about 3 feet. Did the same thing before adding fluid I am very new to the Wheel Horse but do have some mechanical ability thanks Sorry atf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,895 #10 Posted March 3, 2017 Release the tow valve and try pushing her a good distance. Does it still lock up? D series had issues with the bolts that hold the differential together failing then getting jammed between the differential bull gear and the case.. If it locks up do not use excessive force you can crack the transaxle case. If it did lock up while pushing you will probably hae to remove the transaxle and split the case.. You should download the sundstrand manual. http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/24-transmission-hydro-sundstrand-sm-492-4206pdf/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
