I bought my 400 from a guy who got it an estate
sale to resell it. I am the third owner. The
original owner must have been superannuated (old)
because the tractor had antique tranny oil in it.
Similar to the rear end in oil in my '24 Graham
Bros Truck that was speced for 600W. This oil is
so thick that it won't drain below freezing. I
had to heat my shop to 90 degrees and place four
infrared heating lamps around the rear frame to
remove it. I couldn't get it all out because the
Hy-Tran in it now is very dark.

Although it is a low hour tractor, it spent most
of its working life running with a tar like oil.

The original owner never used the TA because it
wouldn't work with the owner supplied oil. The Hy-
Tran fixed that problem.

I'll bet that the first thing the owner did to the
tractor was to get rid of that "cheap" factory
oil. The next thing he did was to buy an Electrall
kit. He must have been a character.

I doubt if that oil is still available.
