4700 hydralic oil capacity

deere755 · Apr 4, 2011

I was wondering how much oil a 4700 power reverser holds. My book said a gear transmission holds 6.9 gal. a hydro model holds 8.8 gal. I put in 7 gal. and it never even touched the dipstick so I called the dealer. He said a gear transmission is different from a power reverser but couldn't tell me how many gal. it held. I put close to 9 gal. in it before it was full. I am pretty sure I didn't get that much out but can't be sure. All I know is it is on the full mark now.

It doesnt really matter how much hydralic oil in it. Aslong theres enough there wont be any problems.

That is all that's important. The manual's are well know for being less-than-accurate.

I also have a 4700 pwr reverser. I just changed my hydraulic fluid. The transmission/hydraulics took just under 7 Gal. If I remember correctly the front axle was just over a 1 gallon. I purchased 10 gal of low vis and have just a little left over.

After reading this I am nervous again. What year is your tractor. Mine is a 2001 not sure if maybe they changed something on them from one year model to another.

Don't believe there's any real reason to worry...

Go with the dipstick!

Avoid too much hyd fluid (and engine oil, too) "overfill" - and too little fluid - "underfill".

Keep everything in the "hash marks" and you're good to go! :thumbsup:

I don't believe that I ever "duplicated" the fill capacities in my owner's manuals for either my 970 or my 110. And I've serviced every thing that can/should be serviced on both machines. Come to think of it... I don't think the recommended fill on the 'ol 9N was the same as the book either. Least on the tranny.
