Liftall Fluid

ccfoshee · Jul 11, 2011

Just put the liftall back into my M.

I seem to remember somebody saying to put 30W oil in it...

However, knowing the large difference in viscosities, has anybody had any problem putting straight UTF in their liftall?

Thanks,
Caleb

Universal hydraulic fluid such as the "303" fluid sold at Orscheln's Farm and Home is what I put in mine. The 303 is on sale right now, $35 for a 5 gallon pail.

Good to know...I specifically have the Traveler brand from TSC.

Thanks again.

That's what I use. 30 SAE is the 1950s method.

Yep! The owners manual calls for NON-detergent sae 30 for warm weather, sae 20 for cooler weather, and sae 10 for cold weather. Those recommendations were given because that was the BEST oil available at that time, and it will still serve the purpose today provided you have just that one tractor and one or two pieces of hydraulic equipped machinery that are not used with any other tractor.

If you need that M or H to be compatible with other tractors, or if you borrow or loan machinery that will be used with other tractors, then the universal hydraulic fluid is what you need.

I've heard some mention an addative IH recommended that would make the 30 have hydraulic fluid like properties. ie antifoaming

I use universal hyd oil in my 40 H and never had a problem .

We use Hytran because all the hydraulic implements have Hytran in them.
