What to use in my B7100 transmission

NewClimber · 03-22-2007, 12:30 AM

I have a 1977 B7100 with a manually transmission, when I bought the tractor, the guy even had the original owners manual. It say to use SAE80 oil for the transmission/hydraulics.

A dealer I went to for the first time, told me that this is UTF fluid, the same I use for the FEL? Is this correct? I know that the transmission fluid is also the hydraulic fluid for the 3 point lift. Just want to make sure I was not getting bad advice from my local dealer..

That is what I used in mine, I have the same tractor 1978 model. The reservoir is for the trans, FEL, & 3 PT hitch.

I would have to agree that UTF is what you should use. In addition to being a hydraulic oil UTF is also designed to be a gear lubricant.

Yup, just hydro fluid. We get the stuff by the 55 gallon drum at work - none of this fancy shcmancy Kubota only brand stuff.
