Looking for general/tech info. Looking to go to single fluid for all farm tractors.
Many farm tractor use a single reservoir for hypoid/diff, hydraulics, and power shift (basically manual selected, automatic clutch plates for gears and pto). More or less 1980 and newer. Basically ATF, probably with hypoid additive. Case, John Deere, others, won't give a spec, only sell a (very expensive) product.
To buy only one fluid for multiple tracotrs, what is needed of the oil to basically fill the requirements of most single reservoir farm tractors? As a rule of thumb, what to buy? Dextron? Type F? Chrysler spec? Mercron? Farm store brand universal trans-hyd?
Rebuilding 3 Case tractor transmissions/pto this year for my brother in law, so something with the farm store no-name universal stuff isn't working.
