: Hy-Tran is the only transmission fluid to use!!
Hy-tran is not even close
: to Dextron. No other trans. fluid meets all Hy-tran
: specs. The big one is water retention ability, Hy-tran
: will take up to 1 percent which prevents rusting and
: sludging. Some of these fluids have zinc which is
: not good for the special brass metals in the hydro.
: These Hydros are very durable and last for ever if
: you use Hy-tran.; no other fluid is worth testing since
: parts are a lot more expensive than Hy-tran.

I personally think a transmissions worst enemy is water! More bearings go from rust and flaking bearings. The dirt is not good, but generally has destroyed far fewer gears, bearings, and hyd pumps than uncontrolled moisture.
I've overhauled a number of larger Hydro tractor transmissions, and always liked doing it, because the Hytran on my hands would make my skin as soft as my wife's and the dirt and oil would be lifted out of the cracks in surface skin.
I've seen Hydro's destroyed in very short times by oils that had a crafty salesman, but not even a fraction of the quality of Hytran.

Hytran is a 10wt. hydraulic transmission fluid, built to control moisture and bubbles in hydraulics. I've never seen one that will do better. A farmer with good maintenance habits can get good service from his Hydro as his reward.
Never use a heavier oil in a Hydro. It will cause much more heat! A hydro has much higher oil pressures, and this can really cas foaming in some lesser oils!
You could buy Hytran from the CASE-IH dealership where I work, for $5 a gallon. They buy it in a bigger bulk tank, for the better price.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on ... [Read Article]
