I found the password for my original F350 account. 485didriver, I believe we're talking about the same thing. I may have understated the amount of fluid. It's been a while since I changed mine. On my 485 the transmission takes gear oil and the "rearend/pto" area take hydraulic fluid. Two seperate systems.

Interesting. When I had the PTO shaft out, I could look look past the connection for the PTO and actually see some of the gears from the gearshift box area. Kinda had a semi partition between the two, but they're all connected. So from this one view I can see the rear axle gears, the PTO, and the gears from under the gearbox. Knowing this, I went ahead and put 90 weight gear oil in there. So far I've put two 5 gallon buckets, but it's only 2/3 full!! $120 of oil so far!!!

The transmission and rear end case are the same oil sump. The hydraulic reservoir is above the rear end but a separate case.

That's definitely my setup, Galen. I wasn't sure if different year models were set up differently than mine, so was hesitant to say much more. So, gear oil WAS the proper oil for this, right? Any idea how many gallons it'll take?
Also, if you know, how big a chore is it to remove that hydraulic reservoir? Seems the only way to get to that pesky bolt I described earlier. Any idea(s)?

It looks like if you took bolt out removed lock washer and put it back in you might have the clearance.
If that doesn't work get new bolt grind head down as needed to clear other bolt and swap out for repair put original back in when done.

Hi There
1. Does that filter set work for my 4505DI?
2. Ya'll spooked me -cause I was changing my transmission and hydraulics - used hydraulic fluid in the main middel plu and the rear plug. 18 gallons and still a little short.
3. I am having trouble shifting my gears also - lost my low range and never had 4th. went to take the cover off last weekend (And I am alittle nervous to do this) and needed a 9/16" offset wrench for one bolt. What will I find when I lift the cover? Do I need to remove the gear shift levers first? What would be my typical thing to look for? I have a authentic bubba helper and 80 miles from the nearest dealer- already bought a gasket.

Michelle,
How did you get that bolt out? The one that's directly beneath the hydraulic control bolt, I mean. This one:
And I was riding mine again today, same as yours: lost the entire low range, but don't have 4H either!! Keep me posted if you get a clue!!!! Any help for this, now that the request is in stereo?

Yep
I have the same problem. No low range completely and no High 4th gear (8th).
Do you have a 4505?
You know these are remakes of an international tractor(dont know the model though)- what is their solution?
Yes that is the bolt - we looked saturday at 3 part stores, one hardware and wallmart.
I think what is needed is a 9/16" offset wrench. My Daddy taught me well. I have not procured and tried one yet.
The next step is to determine what surprise is causing the problems under the cover.
I feel something is loose or binding and judging from your same problems there is a trend here. Maybe one of these dealer smart guys can respond. My shop said they got rid of the 4505 books which really lit me up the other day.
Let me know what I need to know.
Thanks
