My tractor is 1998 MF 240 and it needs Permatrans 3 Hydraulic Oil and 5-gallon will run me $62 if I buy it at the dealer..
But today, I was looking for a bolt with long thread for my RM59 mower and I saw few selections of hydraulic oil at Big Blue Store for almost half the price. The price sounds good but a bit skeptical that it will damage tranny/pto drive but dealer has a tend to overcharge so I figure I would ask.
I forgot the name brand but if I can remember, one was white with black text "Super Trac.." for $32 and other one was $35 and it said can be used in MF that requires 'Permatrans 3'. That $35 one is green with black text. I'm low on fluid and need to add more so I was wondering what you guys will have to say.
Go easy on me as it is my first tractor and doing my best to do what is right and make a good investment on keeping it for long term.
