I bought my first tractor 2 days ago. It's a old half worn out Ford 3600. All I plan on doing is bush hogging, maybe a garden and I have a boom arm for dragging logs out of the way. Im in the process of changing all the fluids and fixing a few things to get it in some kind of reliable shape.
I changed the motor oil that called for 30 weight with 15w40. I can't find a definitive answer for what it calls for in the transmission. Some people say hydrologic fluid but I found one reference to using 10w30 motor oil. That is what I bought. I'm not sure this is correct. Would it even really matter cause I've seen the same thing in a jeep yj, it calls for 2 or 3 different fluids. 10w30, atf or mtl90.
