International 460 fork lift

dirt fox · Sep 4, 2013

Recently horse traded for a international 460 fork lift. It had a blown hose and I need a hint as to where to add oil for it. I see no external hyd tank , the pump appears to run off the transmission and I only see one large plug on the machine. So doe's one reservor run the trans and the fork lift or am I missing something here and what weight of oil would you use? Thanks for any help ahead of time.

I would guess without more info on the tractor that it is just a standard 460/560 hyd system that uses the rear frame as a reservoir. You can use any good hyd system oil, IH made their own called Hytran. The fill point was usually on top deck thru hole for shift lever after taking 3 bolts out for shift lever tower, most of them also had another cover next to shift tower that you could use also.

Without knowing what is in there now, it might be advisable (but expensive) to drain and refill with Hytran or compatible oil.

IIRC, the additives in Hytran do not react well with the "R&O" style hydraulic fluid, or vice-versa. Previous owner may have put that style in.

If I were a betting man, I'd use Hytran or compatible fluid to top it off and see what happens.

There is a plate on the top of the operator's platform that's held on with 3 bolts. It looks like a mirror image of the shifter mount. Remove the plate and dump the oil in there.
