I pulled the drain/fill plug out of the tranny. Pretty close to empty. I guess no surprise as the wheels look wet. Probably need seals. I need to pull it anyway and look around inside. It is tough to get into 3rd gear. My question is what are people using for fluid. Owners manual says Hy-Tran or SAE 30 engine oil. Read a bunch of posts around with a lot of discussion. I used a web site called fluid finder.com and put in my model number and it came back with Traveller Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid, Granted This appears to be sponsored by TSC.
What are your suggestions? Not like this is going to be a heavily used tractor. I do have JD Hy-guard around from my JD's but I did read somewhere that HY-Tran and Hy-Guard had different characteristics.
