Adding Hydraulic Fluid - 2007 Montana 5740C

[SteveMo]

Hi, All:

I just removed a blown hydraulic hose and should add back what was removed from the hose, so, I am asking:

1) What type of fluid to use (is it 80W90)?
2) Where to add the fluid? Is it one of the top bolts on top of the transfer case? I see a dipstick there but no idea what that reservoir is? Does the drivetrain share the same fluid?

Sorry for the newbie questions. The only manual I could find in the past for this tractor is in Chinese!

Thanks!

You want tractor combination transmission/hydraulic fluid. Get it at any farm or tractor store.
Auto stores don't have it.
Do NOT use 80/90, power steering fluid, straight hydraulic fluid,or engine motor oil. Tractor combo hyd/transmission fluid is about 20wt and is special....and costs more.

There has to be a fill point somewhere close to that dipstick, or use a funnel and pour it in there.
luck,

the hydraulic fluid fill point is located on the right rear of tractor in-between the three point hitch (it is the dip stick /hole)...the hydraulics and the transmission share the same fill point
