Have a collection of old Ford tractors and work on them all the time. However, I just got an IH 1978 Cub running and the only thing that does not work properly is the hydraulic lift.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Did not work all day yesterday as I ran the tractor. HOWEVER, this morning it is working fine. I have come to the conclusion the oil is too thin and works well when the oil is thick before it gets hot. I used the factory recommended Hy-Tran fluid from Tractor Supply.
QUESTION - I am using Hy-Tran hydraulic/tran. fluid and would like to use something heavier (thicker) to see if that works, What grade or type of oil do you all recommend????
You have always been very helpful with my Ford questions and hope you can assist on this one.
