2210 rebuild fresh start

[bmaverick]

The $40 TSC UTF is the cheapest I would (do) run in a Powershift, I think its formulated to reduce foaming and is multigrade.

If you want to start the engine for only a moment without turning the transmission just have somebody hold the clutch pedal down!

The TSC is SAE 10W30 based. Thus, it follows and meets the Deere J20C for the Yanmar and the Ford New Holland spec NH194 for the Shabaru <sp?> tractors.
I only put that out there should a person look for something on the low cost side, yet meets the specifications.

I've reached out to a diesel mechanic friend who does trucks (Cummings) and tractors. Using diesel as a flush and taking the tractor out for a short drive to work all the gears forward and reverse and return to the garage bay would flush off anything in the system. This works well in our machines, not a hydrostatic system.

Now, should your view be, not to use diesel, then use the Marine flush for the hydraulic gearbox. But, wait till you see the price on that 5-gallon jug!

There is concerns that a diesel flush will not remove any water that was originally trapped in the hydraulic system. On this forum, a member by SoundGuy wrote up his recipe of Diesel+Dry Gas (non-alcohol). One could make of a recipe of Diesel+SeaFoam to rid the water and white foam too. Diesel itself has an oil base just as hydraulic fluid is oil based.

Had a neighbor that was a petroleum engineer for Shell.
Hydraulic oil is the cheapest cut made.
Some equipment actually specs regular non detergent oil for hydraulic usage.

Knowing that any oil based fluid should do.
So, why not diesel with added standard SAE (dino) oil as added lubricant?

(NB, he had a big ford tractor that he ran for many years using standard non detergent oil rather than hydraulic.)

I gather that any fluid that won't freeze will suffice for the actual 'hydraulic' activity with petroleum based products being favored due to its qualities.

Injector pumps run thousands and thousands of hours without oil. Guess what THEY use for lube.

The concern expressed is for the power shift pump and the hydraulic pump neither of which do well being ran dry. As for his injector pump, it will get a bit of lube from the engine oil and more from the fuel so it was never mentioned by others!
