Default Re: Vintage tractor hydraulic fluid

Check with a hyds shop on the seals... You'd be surprised to find that common chevron replacement packing is available. i just had some 50's/60's vintage loader rams resealed a while back. I figured they'd have to order seals. i dropped off the rams,a nd headed back home.. got home 45minutes later and there was a call on my answering machine... cy;s were done and ready to be picke dup.. go figure.

As for oil.. if it wanted 30wt.. I'd use the aw46 given your temp range.. that or UTF fluid. All but one of my tractors is 'vintage....
