Hydraulic fluid help for Shenniu Hardy 254???????

[Dave M7040]

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but where were you able to find (and ideally post) the owners manual for the shenniu 254? I just picked one up and would love to know more about some of the features.

Thanks!

I still have the material.

Thank you! I did look up the company but it seemed all that was on their website now is generators.
I suppose it might be worth a call to see if they have any involvement nowadays with tractors.

Trying to find out anything to help out relative to help maintain his Hardy 254 , also. If I come across any info will try to pass it along. I live 10 miles from Julian, CA. You would think something would be laying around. seems that Hardy moved to TX. We'll see if they will respond.

Unlike Kubota and most other tractors who use the transmission as a reservoir for the hydraulics, these tractors have a separate reservoir under the seat.
I think you could use any hydraulic fluid including Dexron GM automatic transmission fluid.
