I have a 1986 Iseki( Bolens G214) with a front end loader and run universal hydraulic, tranmission fluid in it. The tractor manuel says to put in 80-90 gear oil. However, if the tractor has a hydraulic pump in the transmission for the loader you go to hydraulic/ trans fluid which is an upgrade of the basic tractor. The FEL manuel notes this if the hydraulic pump is inside the transmissiom as opposed to a PTO pump. Bolens would import the tractor, paint it up and add american/canadien made FEL and /or, in my case, a back-hoe. Obviously, the manuel is for the basic non hydraulic pump tractor.
