farmallsc: Remember these guys can read dollar signs much better than cross reference charts. I make that treck once a year for my years supply of Hytran. There is no one in North America more than the cost of a hydraulic pump away from a CaseIH dealer. Read my responce to Klein Rot just above.

Hugh, with regard to the above post, there may be difference in flow characteristics, I don't know, but the hyd system on the SA/C does not have filters, only a screen, so other brands that meet hytran specs are probably ok. C/SC system is pretty simple. In fact when my Super A manual was printed, apparantly even touch control fluid hadn't been invented yet, as it says to use SAE 10W. Important thing is to keep it clean. "Modern" tractors such as the 560-up, perhaps Hytran is better, as that is when the more sophisticated hydraulic systems started. I don't have any modern tractors, so I usually pay Case-IH their price for parts, and stop at a farm store 1/4 mile closer for oil, etc. Of course with only 2 acres, I don't exactly work them either. I always enjoy oil posts, because you usually see the entire range of oils from Case-IH down to the well lubricated panther pee.

CNKS: I know I have a Super A and 130 here with original pumps. I suspect 140 also has original pump also. I know my Super A and 140 have never seen a whole lot of use since new. I would almost bet the 140 has yet to hit the 1000 hour mark and doubt if Super A has 2000 hours. My 130 however has seen a lot of hard work, much of it far beyond what tractor was ever designed for. I credit Hytran for that longevity.

I only use Hytrans too, but other times when I recommend Hytrans, someone else always writes in what I wrote, I figure these guys can do what they want, put what they want in their tractor, but you are correct in one thing, make a trip twice a year and stock up on what is needed.

The container you buy the hydraulic oil in has the spec list right on it. I believe the hydraulic oil you can purchase at Costco, for instance, has the oil that will meet IH specs for Hytrans
