I added a hydraulic top link the other day, and was thinking perhaps I should check the hydraulic fluid level, since some of it filled up the hoses and the cylinder for the top link. I assume there are as many different varieties of hydraulic fluid as there are boxes of Cheerios at the grocery store, so I thumbed through the Operator's Manual looking for a chart of recommended hydraulic fluid brands and types. Nothing. Not even some hints. So that got me thinking about the other fluids. What about engine oil type? There is a chart in the manual showing temperature ranges for weights of engine oil to use, but not anything more than that. Lubricant for the axles and anything else? Guess I am supposed to just make wild guesses at that. And then there is coolant. If coolants for tractors are anything like what is used in regular vehicles, mixing the wrong types of coolants together can get you into one hell of a mess. Like having thick jello in the radiator and all thoughout the engine. So what type of coolant is being used in my T474HC tractor?
Is there another manual out there that provides these sorts of important details? Or is this all shown on stickers placed strategically on the tractor itself?
