Hyd / Trans oil for cold weather/ Ford 1900

[djradz]

Uh no. I didn't explain in enough detail. The cheap oil comes in all types. Motor oil, auto trans, etc. This includes Hydraulic/Transmission oil for tractors. I just found it strange that we both used the stuff in our tractors and had the same cold weather problems. The f200 is $175 for an 18 litre pail at my dealership and that's just not do-able right now. Like I said, the regular stuff from the farm store just never gave me problems before so I think it may be this cheap oil. Could be moisture I guess. In any event, draining it all and cleaning the system, then using my old brand I'm sure will solve the problem. ( pretty sure )

If you are going to replace the fluid no matter what, but not want to spend much, look for a fluid that meets the Ford 134 spec, but is mulit-viscosity. Around here, the local Tractor Supply Co. (TSC) universal H/T fluid is 10w-30. It may not be as good as the F200 (but who knows) but it is likely better than the regular 134, at least as far as temperature range.

I have never hear of or seen multiviscosity UTHF.
