I'm in the process of rebuilding the hyd pump and lift cylinder on my "inherited" 9N. I bought a great video from Yesterday's Tractor's (thanks, Soundguy..) that details the whole process. Well, at the end of the video; the older fellow makes a strong point about the "specific" hyd oil that Ford Ferguson tractor's require. He stated that you should look for the certification that the oil meets the requirements for Ford tractors built from 1939-1952.
When I swapped out the pto shaft a couple of years back; I changed out the hyd oil. It said Ford on it and JD and MF and a couple of others...looked good to me! I been using it - but, the 3pt surges under a load and it will sag and drop in a blink! So, it's time for a work-over.
But...he says it should list Ford's '39-'52 on the can.
Went to Wally's today. They had some Rotella and some Hi-Tech (IIRC). The specs on both were nearly identical. No mention of '39-'52 Fords, though...
Am I lookin' for something that I've already found...?
Thanks.
