I appreciate the post by llamas on this subject. I have one question however. Since there does not appear to be any one fluid that is perfect for the combination of gear lubrication and hydraulic system in the summer and winter both would a mixture of 50/50 85W140 GL5 gear oil and Ford's M2C134D spec oil be better. My thinking on this is that the heavier gear oil would increase the viscosity of the M2C134D spec oil while the M2C134D spec oil would kept it from getting too thick in the winter. Also I would think the GL5 oil would be a lot better gear oil than the old straight mineral oil. I mostly do light bush hogging in the summer in 90-100 degree weather and would like to use my tractor for occasional snow removal in the winter, normally around 15-30 degrees. Any thoughts on this or am I off in left field somewhere.
