What wieght is the John Deere steering oil? Can you use any other oil in the power steering, or do you have to use the J. D. oil? I was told once that you have to be carefull what oil you use because of foaming probloms. Is this true? I have to fill my steering in my 60 and it is completly empty and the J. D. oil is really spendy. Thanks in advance, Bunghammer.

Sounds like the Deere oil is the best option for me. I am rebuilding a 55' 60 and rebult the power steering and pump. It was in real good shape yet. I'm thinking that this is from using a quality fluid like Deere has. After all it's only money right! Thanks Bunghammer.

I would just bite the bullet (like said before)and use the JD oil. You will only need to do it once in a lifetime anyhow from what I've seen I doubt many were ever changed. This is what is in MY tractors.

I used some P.S. oil from the International truck dealer before. It seemed just like the Deere stuff. I also know of one with Hy-Gard in it and I thought I saw one with ATF in it before. My thoughts are any oil is better than none,especially if you got a real leaker.

Well, you can take your choice. If you use the JD oil, pricey as it is, the chances are that you'll have a lot less problems over the years. Or, you can go the cheap route, such as one poster has, and maybe you'll be lucky, but then maybe you won't. It should tell you something that Deere is still selling this specially formulated oil after all these years. Given the price of rebuilding power steering systems, I'd have to go with the Deere oil, myself.

I agree. I assume that the poster below me probably would not want to run that in a brand new system.

I myself have dumped 10 weight oil in a system that had all the leaks repaired but not overhauled. Works well, seems to be right kind of viscosity.

I just dumped 10 weight non detergent oil in it. Worked just fine for 5 years.

Better bite the bullet and stick with what works. Buy the correct Deere oil.

I always use the JD branded Power Steering Oil for "Waterloo Tractors manufactured before 1960".

Our old, old dealer told me back in the late 60's that they had many power steering equipped two-cylinders that had problems, but were instantly cured with a change back to the special oil. I know I always install that oil in my fresh rebuilds.

My thinking has been "Why would Deere bother to stock this one oil for this one purpose if there wasn;t sonething special inits formulation?" I mean, if Hy-tran was an equivalent, then you'd think that they would not be bothered with the stocking of what is probably a slow moving item. Any way, my 2 cents.
