Default Ford 555D fluid questions?

I have the operator manual. I know what type of fluids to use if I bought them from Ford New Holland. I would like to avoid that place if possible.

Can anyone here tell me what type of fluids they use?

Power steering?

Transmission?

Wet brakes?

Grease fittings?

Hydraulic fluid?


Thanks in advance for the help.

Read the manual and go find fluids that meet the manufacturer's specifications. There are only two oils required for that machine; the proper engine oil and the proper hydraulic oil. Any general purpose grease is better than no grease. There is no reason to get hung up on grease type or specification.

If your oil is a M2C134D or G.. then just find the UTF oil that matches, per ricks instructions.
