I've read all the posts about which oil to use, seems like most agree to use 80-90w in the tranny and rear end with 134 in the hydraulic compartment. What I want to know is can oil leak or be sloshed around from 1 compartment to the other? If so why have diff. oils in diff. compartments?

In the Hundred series and 2000 and 4000 four cylinder tractors there are three seperate reservoirs. There are seals between each individual one. If one of the seals begins to leak one reservoir will loose oil and the one next to it will gain oil. Not good!

It can be as simple as replacing the seals or it can be as complicated as having to replace the bearings, races and or the seal sleeves also to stop the oil leaking into other reservoirs.

I have seen the transmission particularly totally destroyed because of a lack of oil when it all went into the lift and left it high and dry.

You might think the oil would simply go to one level and stay there mixing around but that is not how it works. When it goes to another reservoir it stays there.

it could but should not. There are two shafts (drive and PTO) that run through these compartments, the seals have been known to leak (go figure, 50 years old!). You can use a universal hydraulic/gear oil, but most purists will say use the right oil for the right job. I agree.

I figure if you have a leak, it is 'water down' the oil a little, but not be a problem. To help avoid leaks, do not over fill, that only creates extra pressure on the seals.
