Ford 445 industrial tractor lubes

I happen agree with RicKB.
If you can afford the tractor you can afford the manual.
Most of them are chock full of usefull information.
That said, Use any generic UTF that meets Ford 134D specs. It will say that on the label.
One oil to keep on hand for tranny, rear end, loader hydraulics and power steering.

Thank You

He just asked a question since he didn't have a full manual. Not that his response was warranted, it was not. This is the friendly tractor section isn't it?

Thank You

Thank you Rick B, once again! I was having a 3 point problem. I thought the transmission was common to the rear end. I went to my factory operators manual and there it was....how to check the rear end fluid. 5 gallons later and the 3 point works perfectly again. :ashamed: I just finished reading the entire OM and was surprised to find out all of the maintenance procedures were covered in good detail. I will be looking more closely at the items that have been neglected, as well as a complete service. Any bets on how long it's been since the loader hydraulic pump driveshaft has been greased? Yup, learned about that too! Thanks again, Rick B, for taking the time to share your knowledge on this forum.

you can get an owners manual off EBAY for 25 bucks, tells about tractor specs and maintenance schedules and fluids.
