Farmall M--What Weight Trans Fluid and Need an Oil

Posted by Blue3992 on November 05, 2005 at 13:57:46 from (172.143.217.177):

I’m still working on getting my Farmall M going—thanks to all those that have helped so far.

I opened the transmission oil level plug on the left side of the tractor, and it was low. I stuck my pinky in there, and couldn’t feel any fluid, so I imagine it’s going to take at least a couple of gallons to top it off.

I’d like to drain the whole system, but I don’t have any way of dealing with 10+ gallons of trans fluid right now, so this is my plan. I’m going to loosen the drain plugs to let any water that’s in the system drain out. (The water should be at the bottom, right?) Then, I’ll add the fluid to top it off.

The manual says 90W oil in the transmission. Anyone know where I can find any 90W oil? I could only find muti-grade oils at the local Farm and Fleet. I think the closest I saw was 80W-90. Can I top off my trans case with a couple of gallons of 80W-90?

Also, the air cleaner oil cup was held on with dirt, grease, and an old hose clamp. I cleaned it off, refilled the oil, but the clamp hasn’t got the tension to hold it on.

Where can I get my hands on a new clamp for the air cleaner oil cup?
